Category 3 Fly Company | All
Born on the wild rivers of New Zealand, Category 3 Fly Company is built around a simple philosophy: fishing should be fun in the moment and unforgettable long after it's over. Founded in Taupō by veteran guide Peter Scott, the brand draws on more than 15 years of guiding experience and over 150 days a year on New Zealand's demanding backcountry waters.
Every fly is developed, refined, and tested against some of the world's most selective trout, resulting in patterns that combine premium materials, proven fish-catching performance, and exceptional durability. Whether you're stalking crystal-clear New Zealand rivers or fishing closer to home, Category 3 flies are designed to give anglers confidence when every cast counts.
