Rainy Riding began this famously innovative company in 1971 to support her family in the High Uintas of Utah. Since those one-woman beginnings, Rainy’s has become an internationally famous fly company that employs over 160 people both here and abroad.
Rainy’s has long been recognized as the fly company that ushered in the era of synthetics and most notably foam in fly tying. Rainy said that in the beginning, she was just looking for a better way to tie the all important Green River Cicadas, but that once her long search yielded the proper foam it was love at first tie.
"I love to tie with foam, and my creativity really soars with foam," adding that, "many folks assume that floatation is the main asset of foam, but with the ability to color and shape these materials it is more about the versatility."
It isn’t just advanced tying materials and cutting edge patterns that set Rainy’s apart, Rainy’s is an incredibly stable and reliable company that runs like a fine Swiss watch. If you order from Rainy’s, your flies deliver on time, and upon inspection you’ll see why they are the Cadillac of fly companies. 37 years of industry experience gives Rainy a great knowledge of the demands in the fly fishing industry.
Looking at Rainy’s 2009 catalog is a vision of what the very best flies on the planet – for every conceivable fish – should look like. With over 1,600 patterns and the most elite of collection of signature tiers, you can be certain that Rainy is hard at work pushing the envelope of flies for right now and the future.
