Fatties On The Fly is a Texas based, Orvis Endorsed, fly fishing company that strives to bring our customers incredible experiences on and off the water with expert guides and unforgettable experiences.
In addition to the Guide co, Fatties takes pride in providing season, region, and species specific flies that work to our customers through the website and fly shops alike. We provide quality flies at a fair price that have purpose. When I say flies with purpose I am talking about flies that hunt. Flies that are meant for the here and now. When you receive a Fatties Fly box you can hit the water with confidence knowing that the flies within are exactly what you need, when you need them.
We have spent years cultivating strong relationships with private landowners and exploring some of Texas most remote fishing destinations.
We are able to provide the perfect set of flies because of our partnership with a deep roster of professional fly fishers. The guys and gals that make thier living on the water all day every day. Each month we reach out to our team of pros to find out what flies are working. We then place those flies in your box and ship them directly to your door.
