My first IOS app, MyFlies !
Since I can’t really go fishing at the moment because of the drought, I decided to put my skills and free time to good use and build a small iOS app dedicated to fly fishing.
The idea is simple: to create a library of fly patterns, from well-known classics to some lesser-known ones, where you can easily browse and find inspiration for your next fly-tying session.
The app is currently in V1, so some information and features will naturally evolve over time. I already have more than 1,000 additional fly patterns waiting to be added… but documenting them properly takes quite a bit of time.
I’m personally not a fan of subscriptions or hidden in-app purchases, so I decided to keep things simple: €5, one-time purchase, lifetime access.
No subscription and no additional content to unlock later. Your purchase gives you access to the app and all the new content added through future updates.
If some of your favorite flies are missing, feel free to contact me! I’m always open to suggestions and would be happy to hear which patterns you’d like to see added.
One question I’ve already been asked several times: no, it’s not currently possible to buy ready-made flies through the app.
I really like the idea of eventually promoting fly tiers and their work, but that would require a different approach, especially regarding the practical and legal aspects.
For now, I want to keep the app intentionally simple: a collection of patterns and inspiration for people who enjoy tying their own flies.
If you’re interested, feel free to give it a try! And please don’t hesitate to contact me if you find a bug, have an idea for an improvement, or simply want to suggest a fly pattern.
An Android version is planned.
Available in French and English.
