Jessica Mills –
I’ve used the Permit Assortment on several trips to the coast. The Avalon Heavy and Kahuna Crab flies worked well in different conditions. The variety helped me catch fish when I wasn’t sure what they were feeding on. Easy to store and organize in my fly box.
Jason Stewart –
The tan and olive colors matched well with the local water. I caught a few permit with the Kahuna Crab flies. The size 1 worked better than the size 2 in some situations. Good selection for a beginner or intermediate angler.

This assortment saved me from fishing with just one fly. I tried different combinations and found success in both tide pools and open water. The flies are well made and durable.
