Firehole Outdoors is working on a brand new range of barbless fly tying hooks that will be available in Australia through Troutlore when production begins. This has been a long process for Joe Mathis of Firehole Outdoors who has been running a pledge campaign to fund the first major production run of these hooks. At this stage they are getting there slowly, but more pledges are needed. We at Troutlore have pledged already and will have great stock of the range when it becomes available, but it may not get there without enough pledgers. So, if you want to get in on the initial run and have some hooks sent directly to you before we even get stock, you can do so and help make this all happen.

Here’s a few words from Joe Mathis of Firehole Outdoors :

“Here in Bozeman we are having fun designing, testing, and bringing new products to you; the fly tyer and fly fisher. Some of them will be unique, some not so unique (we are not going to pretend to have invented the t-shirt, hat, or decal). What we did do is spend the last 20 months designing and testing new euro-style, barbless, wide gap tying hooks. Not so unique you say? Well, maybe not. After all a dry hook is a dry hook, a nymph hook is a nymph hook. However, they are new, they are fresh, they are sharp, and they are strong; Montana strong. However, most importantly, they are priced for the everyday fly tyer.”

If you wish to get in early and pledge for the first production run of these hooks, you can do so at the following link :

Firehole Pre-Launch Event

And of course, after the Pre-Launch Event, when production is up and running, Troutlore will continue to keep stock of the entire range for you to purchase locally as you need more hooks.
