John Collins | Squimpish Pro Team
John Collins is a member of the Squimpish Flies Pro Team, a group of fly tyers, anglers, guides, instructors, creators, and industry professionals who share their experience with the fly fishing community.
John has been tying flies for the past 30+ years. In that time he has come up with numerous original patterns, including JC’s Electric Caddis Larva, JC’s Electric Caddis Pupa, and The Peacock March Brown Dry Fly, among others. John also has a line-up of Sculpin patterns to his credit. These include JC’s Rabbit Tail Sculpin. JC’s Soft Tail Sculpin, and The Halfback Sculpin. His specialty is custom orders, but he does tie commercially, when time allows, for Shannon’s Fly and Tackle in NJ, and Dettes Flies in Livingston Manor NY. John’s motto is: “Flies That Catch Fish. Not Just Fishermen”. No fly is released to the public until its proven to produce on the water, that it’s been fished.
