Jim Teeny grew up fishing for trout, steelhead and salmon. He figured out in a hurry that the closer to a fish's mouth you put the fly, the more likely the fish will bight it. Most fish are not holding near the surface. Getting the fly to them often involves the use of a sinking fly line. He developed a series of lines that would effectively cover all situations when encountering fish that were holding in normal moving water. |

They are called the "T" Series. Developed in the late seventies, these were the first of the one-piece, fast-sinking, shooting-head-configuration weight-forward fly |

lines. The running lines are color coded for easy identification. These lines gained instant recognition as being the most consistent tool for catching anadromous fish in streams around the world, to the point that even the subsequent copies of these lines are often called Teeny Lines. They are just as useful as ever. If you fish for winter steelhead with a single hand fly rod and only have one line, make it a T-300. If you want to cover all the bases carry T-200, T-300 and T-400 lines. |

If you hang out with Jim Teeny, you will see lots of big fish. Catching salmon and steelhead became the passion of his youth. Teeny figured out a long time ago that most of the fish stay very close to the river bed most of the time. Teeny spent his formative years on our home water, the Sandy River. Deep, swift, fluctual, and very, very cold our river was a hostile environment for fly fishers using the conventional fly fishing gear available in the 1970's. Yet, Jim Teeny and his father Fred were catching steelhead from the Slaughter Hole in front of legions of gear slingers who were catching less. Gregarious by nature, Jim wasn't afraid to join the masses at any of the main staging pools where the numbers of fish brought the hordes. There were a number of failed attempts before the winning formula began to come together. Jim figured out that a fish you could see would bite if you repeatedly put the fly very close to its mouth. It became apparent that a very fast sinking shooting head did the best job. Jim had 3M manufacture lines to his specifications and started selling them under his name. The T-Series was born. Jim next figured out that a fast rod with a particular kind of action worked best for casting and fishing his T-Series lines. The rods listed below are the products of many years of experience. |

Fly Rods Jim Teeny Joins The TFO Team (or maybe TFO joined Jim's team) which ever..., it looks like a perfect fit for all parties concerned, including us...and you too. Jim Teeny is an innovator. His flies, his lines and his rods have changed the way many anglers regard the art of fly fishing. He now has teamed up with TFO to produce a new line of rods. Like all of Jim's products, they offer the fine tuning of a man who has spent thousands of hours fishing and showing other people how too. The latest Teeny Rods are built by Temple Fork Outfitters to Jim's exact specifications. |

"A lot of my fishing time is spent going after Steelhead,
Salmon and Trout. Also, Saltwater for Bonefish and Tarpon. It is
important that my fly rods meet the requirements necessary to successfully
fight big fish. In designing a new a new rod series with TFO it was very
important that the rod was strong, lightweight, fast action with a
powerful lower butt section and sensitive tip. The Jim Teeny rods by TFO
have it all. They are everything I look for in a quality rod at an
affordable price. They are as good as any rod I've ever fished with."
