Healing the Fisher King

A Fly Fisher's Quest
by Capt. Scott Sparrow

   
What reviewers are saying about this book...

     "Scott Sparrow's book is a moving testament to the spirit of the human soul, and a powerful reminder that for many of us fishing and spirituality are inextricably joined together.  I for one, wouldn't have it any other way."
Lani Waller,  author of River of Dreams

    "Fly Fishermen soon realize there is more the sport than catching fish. It becomes a way of living.  Scott Sparrow writes well telling how it has influenced his life and peace of mind. This is a good read for any fly fisherman."
Lefty Kreh

    "I just finished reading Healing the Fisher King, and I wanted to thank you for an incredible experience. It seemed in many ways that the book was written for me. I have faced, and am facing the same "challenges" you described in the book. I plan to read it again as a text book, with a highlighter, while taking notes.
    "Before reading your book I only knew something was wrong with my life, you helped discover (almost) exactly the problem. If I were to describe these issues, it would look like I was rewriting your story. Thank you for having the courage to be so open, and for sharing your experiences. I am grateful that you have the wisdom to discover these emotional / spiritual / relational complexities." -- M. W.

    "Your storytelling was seamless. I bought the book to learn more about the technical aspects of 'flats fishing' with a fly rod, and...then, in an instant we were on the flats with a thrill a minute, wow! I was there, a hit or a miss, it didn't matter, I was fishing with you and Scott. Each day was different, and your description of the beauty of the Lower Laguna Madre was fabuous...I have a great deal of admiration for your tenacity and strength of will and spirit...you should be held up as an example of health and success for men and women."

 Temple Fork Fly Rods

We were so impressed with the quality of the Temple Fork rods that we decided to use them at Kingfisher, beginning in 2003, and to sell them as well. We believe that the TFO rods are as good or better than any rod currently available, regardless of price.  All you have to do is to cast one, and you'll be sold. Beyond their performance, these rods are beautifully appointed, with three oversized titanium oxide stripping guides, and premium grade cork handles. The Lefty Kreh Professional Series provide a moderate action for casters who prefer a slower stroke. The Lefty Kreh TICR is the standard bearer for the TFO line, receiving rave reviews from novice to advanced casters, alike, who appreciate its crisp action and elegant look. The Lefty Kreh TICRx is a new series, available in five- through nine-weight rods.  These rods are simply incredible casting rods in the hands of advanced casters, and perform best when overlined by one weight. They sport a blue, glossy finish with a spun graphite reel seat in the five-weight and an anodized aluminum double-up-locking reel seat in the 6-8-9 weights.

Kingfisher Flies:
See instructions for tying your own VIPs and  Mother's Day Flies!

News! FLY H2O, a national fly tying company, has entered into an exclusive contract with us to produce Capt. Scott's flies for nationwide distribution. FLY H2O, whose clients include Cabelas and Bass Pro Shops, has already begun to supply some of our flies, so that we can fulfill our orders more expeditiously!


Mother's Day Flies (weedless) -- -- $3.50 apiece, minimum of three Add to Cart
Six MDFs for $18 Add to Cart


The MDF, like the VIP, has evolved over many years, and is based on countless hours of observing the behavior of redfish and trout in shallow, clear water. When presented well, the MDF is as close to rejection proof as any fly we've ever seen. Whether the fish are feeding primarily on crabs or shrimp, it doesn't seem to matter: The MDF meets with their approoval!

VIP Flies (weedless) -- $4.00 apiece, minimum of three

    The VIP is, by far, the best topwater pattern for reds and trout and bass and brim that we've ever used. Our clients swear by them, and have used them successfully on a variety of freshwater and saltwater species.  Developed by Capt. Scott, and featured in Fly Tyer, Saltwater Fly Fishing, Southwest Fly Fishing, and Fish and Fly. The VIP is also on the cover of Fly Tyer Editor David Klausmayer's new book Guide Flies!

Kingfisher Spoons -- $3.50 each


We have developed a lightweight spoon fly, available now in four colors. A great fly for podding, tailing and cruising reds -- especially over grass, or on the west side of the LLM.

Also, for venues calling for a faster sinking  spoon, try the new Kingfisher Crab!

Gamakatsu Hooks
We carry the two hooks that we use to tie our VIPs and our Mother's Day Flies. We carry them in only once size -- size 4 -- since that is just about the only size we use.  See instructions for tying these flies, and then purchase the hooks for making them! As for our spoon fly, we recommend the Gamakatsu 51407 hooks.

B10S Stinger hook size 4 for tying VIPs and spoon flies  -- $18.00 per box of 100  Add to Cart
SS15 Saltwater tin-plated hook size 4 for tying MDFs -- $18.95 per box  of 100 Add to Cart
51407 Shiner Hooks SE size 4 for tying weedless spoon flies -- package of 7 -- $3.50
Add to Cart
51407 Shiner Hooks SE size 6 for tying weedless spoon flies -- package of 8 -- $3.50 Add to Cart


Spoon Fly Bodies and Hooks

       We have developed a two-colored spoon fly body -- in four color combos -- that can be tied on the hook of your choice. However, we also offer the Gamakatsu Shiner Hook (see our hook selection above) that produces a lightweight, highly effective spoon fly that is virtually weedless, due to its modified circle-hook shape. The hooks are, admittedly, much more expensive than the B10S -- another great choice -- but the weedless feature is worth it if you fish where we do.

    You can tie these bodies onto a size 4 or a size 6 hook.
 
   The bodies come in packages of 50 for $7.50 a package. Save yourself a lot of time, and get a body that's been proven to work like a charm on the Lower Laguna.

L
umaflex -- the best legging material ever created


By popular demand, we have begun carrying the tailing material we use on all of our VIPs, MDFs and Crimps. This material is so light, strong and irridescent that it gives new meaning to the word attraction. Reds and trout often take flies dressed with this material "on the drop" - that is, as it enters the water.

We carry only two colors that we believe are the best saltwater colors for legs.
$10.00 per packet -- enough to dress 50-75 VIPs

Jim Teeny Professsional Series Fly Lines
Kathy and I use these lines exclusively, and many of our regular clients are switching to them. The Flip Pallot line features a longer belly for moderate distance casts, and easy loading. The Lefty Kreh line is a distance line, which is my favorite. They have a nice stiffness, but do not coil up like some of the "tropic lines." A superior saltwater line at a great price.
