Ashley began fishing almost as soon as she could walk.

​

Her nickname was “Little Bear” because she loved catching fish and scooping them out of the water in a net, just like a bear catches fish with its paw.

​

We named Bear River Tackle to

honor Ashley.

The complete Bear River Tackle story is featured in the Kansa Wildlife and Parks Magazine, March - April 2021 Issue 

Bear River flies are unlike any other flies in the entire world

and are so effective they are patented

(U.S. Pat. 10,039,271 and U.S. Pat. 10,292,376 B1). 

​

Each fly is a one-of-a-kind original that will have some variability in color, size, curvature and placement of the feathers.
