ABOUT BLANE CHOCKLETT:
Blane Chocklett is a renowned fly fishing guide, fly designer, and author. Blane is known for his innovative fly patterns, especially the Game Changer series, and his expertise in targeting various species, including musky and various saltwater species.
Blane grew up fishing the small mountain streams near his home in Blue Ridge, Virginia. As a youngster, he started a guiding service and, in the late 90s, opened Blue Ridge Fly Fishers in Roanoke, Virginia. Blane has worked for years to create patterns that have all the intricate nuances of flies with the strike-generating action of conventional lures. The Chocklett Factory currently produces many of his most popular patterns.
A decade ago, Blane returned to the river where he now owns and operates his guide service specializing in float trips for musky, smallmouth bass, stripers, trout and many other species. Blane also hosts trips internationally and in the United States.
Blane is the Southeastern Field Editor for Fly Fishermen. He is an advisor or brand ambassador for many of the industry’s top brands: Patagonia, Temple Fork Outfitters, Scientific Anglers, Costa, Yeti, Sightline Provisions, Renzetti, Adipose Boatworks and Hog Island Boatworks.

“Blane Chocklett is a fisherman’s fly designer. His sense of what makes a fly work is the absolute best ever, and he has the creativity to fulfill his ideas like I’ve never seen before. Blane’s designs cross over from fresh to salt water with ease. He works an idea all the way until it’s right – then improves it. And the flies in this book are only the beginning…”
– Bob Popovics, author of Pop Fleyes and Fleye Design
“Chocklett is one of the great creative minds in fly tying. He builds on our traditions and history, but he isn’t restricted by them. His flies have not only provided solutions to age-old questions in trout fishing, they have allowed us entry into new waters where carp, muskies, stripers and wipers, and every other sort of bass are now an equal opportunity for fly fishers.”
– Ross Purnell, editor, Fly Fisherman magazine
