Collection: Dry Flies

Stock up on premium dry flies at Glenwood Springs Outdoors — essential patterns for matching hatches and fooling selective trout on Colorado's premier rivers. Our curated selection includes classic and local favorites like Parachute Adams, Elk Hair Caddis, Blue-Winged Olive (BWO), Pale Morning Dun (PMD), Stimulator, Royal Wulff, Griffith's Gnat, and Hopper patterns — tied to imitate the abundant mayflies, caddisflies, midges, and terrestrials that hatch throughout the season.

These high-floating, visible dry flies excel in the clear tailwaters of the Frying Pan River, the swift runs of the Roaring Fork River, and the varied pockets of the Colorado River. From tiny #18–24 BWO and midge clusters for technical spring and fall fishing to larger #8–12 attractors and hoppers for summer terrestrial action in the Roaring Fork Valley, our dry flies deliver realistic profiles, perfect drift, and confident takes.

Trusted by local guides and anglers fishing Gold Medal waters, these durable patterns are selected by staff who fish these rivers regularly. Shop our dry fly collection for the right sizes, colors, and imitations to match local conditions and land more rising trout on your next outing.

Available in store at Glenwood Springs Outdoors, 831 Grand Ave, Glenwood Springs, CO.
