South Central, PA has some of the best trout water in the state. The beautiful mountains of Cumberland, Fulton, Franklin, and Adams Counties are rich in limestone springs that feed our creeks and keep them running cold enough to support trout throughout the entire year. The predictable hatches on our waters draw fly fishers form near and far. Whether it's early spring, the dog days of summer, autumn foliage, or the dead of winter, our streams consistently produce trout that make the trip to South Central Pennsylvania worth while. Custom-Tied is a good place to find what you are looking for, if you don't find what you are looking for, drop us a note and we will try to get you pointed in the right direction so that you do. Please enjoy your stay, and don't forget to sign the Guest Book.4 Fish Guarantee
We here at Custom-Tied are so sure of product's quality and workmanship that we guarantee them against failure. Our flies are tied on Mustad hooks. We are not guarantying your ability to catch 4 fish with each fly. We are, however, telling you that our bugs will last through the fight of at least 4 fish, or 1,000 casts (including false casting), or we will replace the bug. Just return what is left to us, and we will replace it with the same pattern and size, at no cost to you.
Do we teach people to fly-fish?
Absolutely, we teach people to fly fish. We just enjoy the sport so much that we want to share it with the world. The state requires me to have a license and insurance to be a guide. I got out of the guide business for that reason. I am a teacher. If I saw someone struggling on the the creek bank, I would help them out and I wouldn't charge them a dime. I see this in the same light. If you are interested in learning how to fly fish, drop me a line at customtyer@custom-tied.com and we can set something up. A good friend of mine once told me that people equate value with price. When I was a guide, I charged $250.00 for an 8 hour day. You get that value and you set the terms.
Do we teach people how to tie Flies?
Absolutely, we teach people to tie their own flies. In our opinion an important part of the fly fishing experience is catching fish with a bug that you made with you own two hands. All of the patterns that are available on this web site I tied my self and I can teach you to do the very same thing. We do charge for this, however. $30.00 per hour. If you are interested in learning to tie your own flies please drop us a note at customtyer@custom-tied.com and let's get some time in the book for you.
Please enjoy your stay here at the new Custom-Tied web page, we wish you Tight Lines and Screaming Reels. We'll see you on the creek.
