For some unknown reason brown trout in particular seem to love this fly. It also work particulary well in really slow water when fish have a long time to inspect the fly.

Who is Category 3?

Category 3 Fly Company is a small independent fly company based in Taupo New Zealand. Those of you who have been fortunate enough to fish the wilderness rivers of New Zealand will have a good understanding of how technical it can be. Gin clear water with some of the spookiest fish on the planet that require pin point accuracy and the right choice of fly.

For the last 15 years we have been lucky enough to spend over 150 days a season guiding anglers from all over the world on the wilderness rivers of New Zealand and over that period of time we have been constantly developing new patterns and tweaking old ones.

The selection of patterns that you see in Category 3 is what we use.

At Hamills, we want to keep it as easy as possible for you, so we offer:

  • Free shipping on orders over $199.99 to New Zealand non-rural addresses. A $5 rural surcharge will apply to rural addresses for orders over $199.99.
