GEAR UP FOR FALL FLY FISHING
FEATHER CRAFT PURSUITS
CAMP NORTH, GREENLAND
Deep in the remote tundra of Western Greenland's Arctic backcountry lies the Eqalugsugssuit River and some of the best char fly fishing on the planet. Some fly fishing trips are a vacation with a rod in your hand. This is not one of them. Adventurers only.
EL PESCADOR, BELIZE
Nestled on the stunning island of Ambergris Caye, El Pescador is the ultimate destination for fishing enthusiasts and island adventurers alike. Whether you’re into fly fishing, offshore pursuits, deep-sea expeditions, or reef exploration, this serene getaway has it all.
Kisaralik River, Alaska
9 days, 8 nights, and 100 miles of Untouched Tundra. The Kisaralik is the kind of river that built Alaska's reputation. No roads. No lodges. No crowds. Just a wild river winding with some of the hardest-fighting rainbow trout you'll ever encounter.
SINCE 1955
Feather Craft has served fly anglers and fly tiers from St. Louis since 1955. Our history was built by people who understood that the best gear, materials, and fly patterns prove their worth over time. The original handwritten sheet shown here records the Crackleback, created by Feather Craft founder Ed Story in 1952. Ed wrote the recipe and illustrated the fly by hand, preserving the details of a remarkably versatile pattern that can be fished dry on the surface, stripped below it, or swung through the current. More than seven decades later, anglers across the country still tie and fish the Crackleback.
The sheet represents the practical knowledge, careful instruction, and respect for enduring ideas that have guided Feather Craft from its earliest catalogs to the shop we are today. Our staff carries that tradition forward by helping anglers choose equipment and materials through firsthand experience, honest advice, and an uncompromising standard of performance.
