Big News: Pete Expands His Signature Fly Offerings in the 2026 Fulling Mill Catalog

When Pete Rosenau, co-owner of Spawn Fly Fish, first launched his signature patterns with Fulling Mill, they made immediate waves in the fly fishing world. Now, in 2026, anglers everywhere have even more to be excited about—because Pete’s most popular flies are expanding with new color variations in the latest Fulling Mill catalog.

Pete’s designs, like the Rocktober Caddis and the Beach Bum, were built with specific fisheries and conditions in mind. The intention was precision: to create flies that solved a problem, imitated food sources effectively, and simply caught fish when others didn’t.

But over the past few years, these patterns have grown far beyond their original niches. From local rivers to saltwater they’ve earned a reputation as must-have patterns—sparking demand for even more versatility. The popularity has been so overwhelming that Fulling Mill and Pete decided the time was right to give anglers more colors in the same deadly designs.

What’s New in 2026

In the upcoming Fulling Mill catalog, you’ll now find:

• Rocktober Caddis: Expanding into Tan, Olive, and Black. These additions ensure the fly matches a wider range of caddis hatches and conditions, from classic summer evenings to high-water murk.

• Beach Bum Series: Introducing Orange and Tan. These bright and natural tones give anglers more tools when targeting picky fish in estuaries, beaches, and beyond.

Both series maintain the same proven combination of materials and movement that made them famous—they’re just now available in various colors to cover more water and more scenarios.

The decision to broaden color ranges wasn’t made lightly. These flies were born from specific fisheries and tied to solve precise challenges. But when flies perform so well that they start catching fish everywhere, the demand grows. Anglers don’t just want one version—they want a lineup they can count on in every condition. This expansion is more than just a few new colors—it’s recognition that these patterns have moved into the mainstreamof modern fly fishing. They’ve become staples, and staples demand options.

Where to Find Them

The new Rocktober and Beach Bum colorways will begin rolling out in 2026, and you can expect to see them:

For anglers, that means more confidence, more flexibility, and more fish.

This is a big deal for Spawn and Pete! Pete Spawn’s signature flies have already proven themselves in countless waters. With expanded color options in 2026, they’re only going to become more essential in every angler’s fly box.
