About Ludwig Outdoors
Kyle Ludwig was introduced into the fly fishing world back in 2018 when his cousin Dan Lato let him borrow his 4wt and a box of flies for a summer. After the first trip out, he was hooked. Later that fall Dan invited him on a trip to the Current River and that’s where Kyle was introduced to tying flies.
Thousands of flies and two years later, Ludwig Outdoors was born. Kyle mostly ties and offers flies for trout, bass and panfish. His goal is to provide the highest quality and most durable flies to customers, and for his customers to have great confidence when they tie on one of his flies. He loves that he can provide something so small, but yet put such a big smile on someone’s face when they net that fish of a lifetime. He hopes to one day expand the business to help future generations appreciate our beautiful lakes, rivers, and streams.
Ludwig Outdoors has a simple mission: “To encourage, educate, and inspire future generations to explore and protect the natural world.”
All flies are hand-tied and shipped within 3-5 days
PATTERNS
Chernobyl Caddis (Brown)
The brown version of the Chernobyl Caddis is an excellent attractor Caddis pattern for Grannom Caddis hatches. This pattern was inspired by the Palomino and bubble Caddis, and with both foam and deer hair this fly will float for days. The folded foam body gives it a profile that is hard to beat and the pearl mylar tinsel butt section has a thin layer of UV resin to add durability and give the right amount of sparkle to grab the attention of those picky trout.
Great fished as a single fly dead drift or skittered across the water. It is also an excellent fly to hang a heavy dropper off of.
Available in 3 packs and in sizes 12 or 8.
Chernobyl Caddis (Dun)
The Dun version of the Chernobyl Caddis is an excellent attractor Caddis pattern for Dun Caddis hatches. This pattern was inspired by the Palomino and bubble Caddis, and with both foam and elk hair this fly will float for days. The folded foam body gives it a profile that is hard to beat and the pearl mylar tinsel butt section has a thin layer of UV resin to add durability and give the right amount of sparkle to grab the attention of those picky trout.

Chernobyl Caddis (Cream)
The cream version of the Chernobyl Caddis is an excellent attractor Caddis pattern for light, cream-colored Caddis hatches. This pattern was inspired by the Palomino and bubble Caddis, and with both foam and elk hair this fly will float for days. The folded foam body gives it a profile that is hard to beat and the pearl mylar tinsel butt section has a thin layer of UV resin to add durability and give the right amount of sparkle to grab the attention of those picky trout.

Lato’s Gray Scud
When the fishing gets slow and you can’t really tell what the fish are eating, this is when you want to tie on a gray scud. Says pattern author Dan Lato, “A lot of days when the fishing is tough, a gray scud saves the day.”
The base of this fly is tied with scud back, wire, and diamond-hard Solarez UV resin. But what makes this scud stand out is the SLF sow bug gray dubbing, which has an irresistible sparkle.
Available in 3 packs and in sizes 16 (2.5mm black nickel tungsten bead) or size 14 (3.0mm black nickel tungsten bead)
The Championship Caddis
This is a classic pattern that has been around for a long time and belongs in every serious angler's fly box. These are tied with a coastal deer hair wing, a peacock body, and orange Ultra Chenille for the tag.
For extra durability, these flies have a thin layer of super glue on the base on the shank to hold the peacock together even after plenty of trout teeth abuse. The end of the chenille is lightly singed with a lighter to make sure it does not unravel in the water.
Great fished as a dead drift or skittered across the water.
Available in 3 packs and in sizes 12 and 14
Black Beetle
These beetles are tied to float, and with the bullet-type head these guys can move some water. Life Flex legs give this fly great life-like movement. A high-vis foam indicator and a little flashback make it very easy to spot on the water.
They are great fished as either a single fly, either dead drifted, slowly twitched, or used to as the indicator fly for a dropper.
Available in 3 packs and in sizes 12 and 8
