About The Central Fly

    The Central Fly was created out of a lifelong love for the outdoors—where early mornings, changing seasons, and quiet moments on the water or in the woods mean more than just time spent. They’re part of who I am.

    Fishing has always been a big part of my life. I grew up with a rod and reel in hand, chasing bass—or honestly, anything that would bite. A few years ago, I picked up a fly rod for the first time, and that was a game changer. Fly fishing brought a whole new level of connection to the water, and I haven’t looked back since.

    Along the way, I found a real passion for fly tying. What started as trying to mimic the classics quickly turned into a creative outlet—an art form. While I enjoy tying the traditional patterns, what I truly love is coming up with my own designs and then watching a fish take something I created. There’s nothing quite like it.

    Hunting is just as much a part of my outdoor story. When the weather cools in the fall, I turn to waterfowl hunting—mornings in the blind with the sound of wings overhead. Come spring, it's all about turkey. Each season brings its own rhythm, and I wouldn’t trade any of it.

    The Central Fly isn’t just a name—it’s a way to share what I love with others. Whether you're here to explore the store, learn more about fly tying, swap stories, or just find a place where your passion for the outdoors is understood, you're in the right place.

    Thanks for being here. Welcome to The Central Fly.
