Blue Line Flies
Fly Fishing
BlueLineCo. is a fly-fishing brand built by anglers who couldn’t find the flies they needed - so they made them. Founded in 2017 by childhood friends from northern Alabama, the company makes high-quality, hand-tied flies for bass, trout, carp, bream, and redfish. With a commitment to performance, each fly goes through rigorous design and testing: founder Adam Hudson says patterns are only released after years of real-world use. BlueLineCo. serves anglers directly online - no traditional fly shop gates, so they stay focused on delivering functional patterns at a fair price.
