The bench, the box, and the community — in one place.
Fishbug is where fly tyers share patterns, learn new ties, and keep track of their materials. We're rolling out invites a few at a time while we polish things up.

40,000+
materials in the catalog and growing
Hooks, threads, dubbing, feathers, beads, flash and more — searchable by manufacturer, size, and color. Add what's on your bench to your inventory, drop what you're missing into a shopping list, and see at a glance which patterns you can already tie.
What you can do
Share your patterns
Post a fly with up to 10 photos or a tying video, a material list, and step-by-step instructions. Keep it public or private — your call.
Discover new ties
Browse the community feed, search by pattern, tyer, or tag, and follow the tyers whose work you want to keep up with.
Manage your bench
Track an inventory and a shopping list backed by the full material catalog so you always know what you have and what you still need.
Watch it tied
Tying videos stream right in the pattern, so you can follow along step by step instead of guessing from stills.
Save & follow
Bookmark patterns to tie later and build a Following feed from the tyers you admire.
Talk shop
Comment on patterns, ask questions, and trade tips with other tyers in the community.
Fishbug in your pocket
Native apps for iOS and Android are on the way. Request an invite and we'll let you know the moment they land in the stores.
