I use these beaded worms after rain when high, stained water starts to recede. It’s my go to bait for wild brown trout when these conditions exist on the Little Juniata River in Pa. It consistently catches fish like this one this morning!
Great popper made to last. It really works! I ran this as a “popper dropper” using a damselfly nymph (also purchased from perfect hatch) and had great success with both. Highly recommend for those looking to chase bass and panfish.
I’m loving my new Veteran 5wt, I have 2 openers already and have never had an issue. Can’t find a better combo for the price. Highly recommend all of there rods and reels.
Not expensive for 300 strands of material, if you double it over you get even more value. Definitely my go to flash from now on.
Best all around 6/0 thread I use black,white and red.
I designed this fly a while back for St. Patrick’s Day.Next Tuesday 3/17/26🍀
Tons of thread and it makes it easy to tie any fly pattern without hesitation of if I need a different color thread, a little bit weird to work with but you’ll get the hang of it.
Extremely happy that Perfect Hatch offers replacement sections for their rods. Broke the tip off my Opener and this saved me from buying a whole new rod. Great price, quick shipping. Thank you.
Absolutely love my new Veteran fly rod. Casting is smooth, well balanced in my hand, and makes everything feel effortless. The build quality seems top-notch, and it just feels great overall. One of those upgrades you notice immediately—couldn’t be happier with it.
Caught many trout on this pattern last spring here’s a favorite pic
This product fell into my lap and has performed well for me. I use this on nymphs down to size 14 hook. In particular the brown results in a good iso imitation with a tad bit of flash but not too much. Durable and a quicker, more uniform tie than ice dub. The tinsel is spun close to the core.
Great product! The best dubbing for nymphs, easy to spin on thread without wax, ‘guard hairs’ without the real thing.
Have never fly fished before, but the quality of the rod is incredible compared to almost any option I’ve seen on the market. For most sub $300-$400 combos I’ve seen, they come with cheap plastic reels and rods, but after weeks of research, I stumbled upon Perfect Hatch. Although skeptical at first, with the few reviews I could find, I found myself amazed with the quality of the gear. I went with the 9ft 5wt and it came on time and in perfect condition. Casted very well, although I’m still learning. For other beginners like me, or anyone looking for a high quality set up with an unbeatable price, I’d absolutely recommend Perfect Hatch.
Excellent fast delivery, amazing rod protection /packaging and astonishing look & performance as well! Proudly supporting my local PA business! Had a great pleasure to fish - to try this new set up for several days now// at different locations - mostly using this Steelehead Combo! I'm absolutely pleased with it's performance and easiness of fly fishing & casting! Had a blast using this new rods! Great set-up! Numerous hook-ups, interesting fights with fishes, lots if adrenaline, and numerous landings of beautiful steelheads, atlantic salmons, cohos and big browns! Highly recommend this Steelhead Combo for beginners and experienced anglers as well! Thank You Perfect Hatch for everything what you do! For sure - I will be buying more fishing gear!!! Tight Lines 🎣!!!
I have used the Perfect Hatch Poppin frog all summer
for smallmouth fishing. Most successful bass fly I own.
Bass love the poppin frog!
Purchased at Dicks sporting goods, for the price, received everything to get started fly tying. Did the first two examples, and turned out OK. Plus, website has most everything you would need depending on interest of fly tying.
Perfect hatch fly boxes are made for any occasion. I love the medium and large sizes. They fit more than enough flies and are secure and even waterproof for half the price than the big names fly boxes. The foam holds the flies from size 20 to size 2 with ease. This is my 4th purchase of these fly boxes and after filling this one I’ll buy another!
The shape and extra flash of the cone head is perfect for big trout and smallmouth streamers
Trying to catch some bass with these, but these panfish love them more!
Strung Marabou really comes to life in the water. The jigs I tie are used in the Susquehanna River for smallmouth and musky and they hold up well against those toothy creatures.
This is my version of the Baby Rainbow tied with all Buck Tail. After 50 years of tying I found this Buck Tail the best.
Everything I use is great to work with new vise new ceramic spool heavy thread head cement cones and beads marabou hackle chenille and bucktail it’s easy to order and delivery is fast
This rod and reel combo is amazing. Super smooth and easy to cast! The reel is set up a little different than what I am used to, but I’m getting the hang of it. I’ll definitely be recommending this to my fly fishing friends!
Was looking for a beginner's rod and found this kit. Saved myself the hassle of buying different things. Great way to practice casting. Will give it to my son once I learned how to cast and will upgrade!
