Feathersmith was born from the passion we have here at Feathersmith for fly fishing. We treat all of our flies as we would a piece of jewellery and look at each as a miniature work of art - it's all about quality materials and attention to detail.

All of our Feathersmith kits include access to a full step-by-step tying video, along with associated videos on:

  • The fly patterns history
  • How to best fish the finished fly

This fourth in the series of kits focuses on the Green Mean Catching Machine lure - a great Icelandic pattern to use on those Autumn/Winter trips to the water. 

This fly pattern is perfect for targeting both Rainbow Trout, Brown Trout and Coarse fish in all sizes of Stillwater and rivers and is one of the most successful lure/streamer patterns used throughout the year.

This Green Mean Catching Machine pattern is suitable for:

Target Species: Brown Trout, Rainbow Trout & Perch/Pike
Water Types: Stillwaters & Rivers
Location: All UK
Tying Difficulty: Easy (full video skills provided)

Our Green Mean Catching Machine kit contains:

  • Ahrex FW581 Barbless Hooks (10 each of sizes 8, 10 & 12)
  • Semperfli Classic Black 8/0 Waxed Thread
  • Ice Dubbing (Green)
  • Grizzly Hackle (size #16)
  • 3D Eyes (Gold/Black)
  • Pre-Tied Sample Green Mean Catching Machine

    Contained inside each kit is a leaflet which will direct you to a secret page on our website where all the videos can be accessed.

    With the help of some professional fly tyers, we've identified some really beautiful and unique fly patterns, gathered together all of the materials from world-class and well-respected manufacturers (like Semperfli & Ahrex) and then created a kit which allows you to tie one specific pattern - 30 of each in 3 different hook sizes.

    Here's what's included when you purchase one of our pattern-specific kits:

    • A kit full of world-class materials - more than enough to tie all 30 flies in the kit
    • A video tutorial detailing the history of the fly you are tying
    • A video tutorial of how to tie the fly - presented by a professional fly tyer
    • A video tutorial of how to use and fish the finished fly
    • PLEASE NOTE: You will need to supply your own super glue/resin to fix the eyes.

    The other piece of advice you will always hear is "It's more expensive to tie your own flies than it is to buy them." - not anymore it isn't, our Feathersmith kits allow you to tie a stunning pattern with the very best materials available - all for less than £1 per fly - now that is great value.

              Need Some Inspiration?

              At its core, fly tying is an art form that marries creativity with functionality, transforming the tying vise into a canvas and feathers into brushstrokes.

              Thought I’d try this out not least as it is relatively large for my old eyes and fingers🤓 Very well packaged and presented materials and the accompanying video is very clear. Haven’t tied any flies yet but I’m very happy with the package. I already had a vice and other tools but needed to get some uv resin to attach the eyes and finish the head. Easily acquired on line. Looking forward to tying then trying my flies once the river settles after all the recent rain.

              Excellent service as always. Plenty of good quality components to tie the flies; I'm looking forward to getting stuck in. It would be useful to add in the description of the kit any additional items (other than basic tools) that are required to complete the job; in this case glue or resin to securely attach eyes. A minor point.

              this idea of purchasing exactly what you need to construct a very useful fly is brilliant. thereis no wastage in terms of material that will never be used again and the video explaining each fly tying stage was very clear and helpful.
