Founded over 150 years ago, Richard Wheatley set a standard of craftsmanship that has carried through the generations with pride, to sons and grandsons. Today, the ‘Wheatley Fly Box’ is highly prized by fly fishermen throughout the world. Like every great brand, it has a story. And now Troutlore is proud to share that story with Australian fly tiers now and into the future.
