About 395 Fly Co.
​Rooted in the Eastern Sierra. Inspired by the Water.
395 Fly Co. was born from a deep love of fly fishing and the rugged beauty that lines California’s legendary Highway 395. From the alpine lakes of the John Muir Wilderness to the wild flows of the East Walker, this region isn't just where we fish — it's where we live, breathe, and create.
​
We’re a boutique fly company focused on curating high-quality, hand-selected fly patterns tailored specifically for the Eastern Sierra. Whether you're stalking sipping trout on Crowley Lake, drifting a midge through Hot Creek, or swinging streamers in the Owens, our flies are designed with intention — tested locally and proven season after season.
​
Each pattern in our lineup has been vetted through hours on the water, across the seasons and elevation bands that make this stretch of the Sierra so unique. We don’t just pick flies that “work” — we choose flies that work here, based on hatch cycles, water temperature, and the habits of fish that have seen it all.
​
Our roots run deep in the 395 corridor — a region where ancient geology, high desert wind, and snowmelt-fed rivers create some of the most dynamic trout habitats in the West. This is where technical tailwaters meet alpine creeks, and where spring creek precision blends with stillwater strategy. That’s why our flies are chosen for more than just their looks — they’re selected for their versatility, durability, and effectiveness when it counts.
​
At 395 Fly Co., it’s about more than the catch. It’s about honoring tradition, chasing solitude, and connecting with the timeless rhythms of mountain water. It’s about those moments at sunrise, when steam rises off a cold river and everything else fades into the background. We believe fly fishing should feel personal, soulful, and connected — not complicated.
​
We're proud to support and collaborate with local anglers, independent guides, and regional conservation groups that are working hard to protect the places we love. Preserving access, advocating for cold water, and promoting responsible angling practices are part of who we are as both a company and a community.
We believe fly fishing is an invitation — to slow down, to observe, and to be part of something bigger. Whether you’re new to the sport or a seasoned local, we’re here to share knowledge, inspire exploration, and provide the gear you need to fish the 395 with purpose.
​
See you on the road. See you on the water.
