Yallarhammer Lure

Although the exact origin and birth date of the Yallarhammer pattern has apparently been lost in the mists of pre-recorded North American history, it is clear that the Yallarhammer fly pattern was created before European settlement of the Americas. It is generally accepted that the Cherokees brought down a Yellow-Shafted Flicker with a blowgun, wrapped its bright quill around a hook, and caught a trout.

Fishing Tips

This is an extremely easy fly to tie. Fishing it is equally simple. Cast down and across stream and strip the fly back in short 2 to 3 inch movements. This is an especially good fly for streams having high and discoloured water simply because the fly pushes lots of water and therefore makes quite a commotion which makes it easy for the fish to find the fly.

Creator of this trout fly: Cherokee Indians

Request a fly, size or option

We work closely with our fly tyers and can tie most patterns to order: a different hook size, barbless instead of barbed, a tungsten bead instead of a gold head; just ask.

Sending a request is free and you are not committing to buy. Depending on where we are in our tying cycle it can take a month or two for a pattern to arrive, and we may not be able to tie every request (fair usage applies); but if we can, we will.

Sign in first and we'll pre-fill your email and keep the request with your account.
