Serendipity Black

The Serendipity traces back to an old European buzzer pattern and was developed into its current form by California guide Ross A. Merigold, who fished the Madison River in Montana. Merigold added a trimmed deer-hair wing behind the head and shaped the body from Antron yarn for a segmented look. In 1988 he introduced the pattern to Craig Mathews, who marketed and popularized it using Zelon materials.

The Serendipity Black imitates hatching insects in the transitional stage and is fished dead-drift just under the surface. Its trimmed deer-hair wing and slim black body look especially natural to wary trout in clear rivers with low water and bright light.

Fair Trade, Full Circle

Your flies are tied fairly, with the best materials, on a barbless hook. "Fliegenfischen mit Herz" is building a base for women in Nairobi. The women there own and run the tying workshop themselves, giving them economic independence, pride in their craft, and joy in their customers. Let's work together toward a more balanced world.
