Know what you can tie
with what you own
Your bench is full and your brain is blank. That's exactly what we're here for.
No credit card. No warehouse-grade setup project. About two minutes and you are in business.
“You've got materials for flies you've never heard of. Somewhere in that pile of dubbing and wire and mystery feathers is a pattern worth tying tonight. Check off what's on your bench. I'll find it.”
— Midge, AI tying coach
“I had an unhealthy amount of fly tying gear and a very healthy inability to look at it all and say, ‘Oh good, I can tie twelve useful patterns with this.’ I couldn't find the tool I wanted, so I built it.”
Three steps. That's it.
Set up takes about 2 minutes.
Check off the materials you own. We keep categories broad on purpose, because this is a pattern-matching tool, not an audit of every drawer in your tying desk.
We match your inventory against 785+ pattern recipes and show you what is already tieable right now — plus a readiness score for each fly style so you know exactly where your bench is strong and where it has gaps.
Then comes the useful part: see what you are one material away from, and which single purchase unlocks the most new flies.
Everything you need at the bench
Built by fly tyers who got tired of spreadsheets.
Track your materials
Check off what is actually on your bench. Hooks, thread, beads, feathers, the usual small avalanche of materials. We keep it broad so setup stays fast.
See what you can tie
See the patterns you can tie right now, the ones you are one material short on, and a readiness score for every fly style — so you know where your bench is strong and where to grow it.
AI tying coach
Ask what to tie for a spring tailwater, a slow winter day, or a hopper bank in August. The answer starts with what you already own, not a generic list.
Tying log & badges
Log what you tie, keep a running record of your bench time, and pick up a few badges along the way. The session happened. It deserves a record.
Tutorial links
Pattern pages link out to tutorials, so when you find something worth tying you can actually sit down and do it instead of opening twelve tabs first.
Community-built
Pattern recipes are submitted and refined by real tyers. If something is missing or slightly off, you can help make the database better.
Free to start. Pro when you're ready.
No pressure. The free tier lets you try everything.

The "one material away" moment
This is the feature people tell their friends about. You see:
"Buy Pheasant Tail Feathers — unlock 8 new patterns."
One purchase. Eight new flies in your rotation. No more guessing what to buy at the shop.
Ready to stop guessing?
Check off what you own, see what it unlocks, and find the one missing material that actually earns its keep.
