Tips for Fishing with MFC Flies
Wanna get the most out of your Montana Fly Company gear? Here are a few tips from the Lightweight Fly Shop crew:
- Size down for spooky fish – MFC’s detail shines in smaller sizes, especially in clear water.
- Add movement – Many of their patterns are designed with movement in mind. Short strips and twitches go a long way.
- Use their fly boxes to stay organized – Sounds obvious, but having dries, nymphs, and streamers sorted in MFC boxes is a game-changer.
