Over the years, Chef Noble has looked to fly fishing as a practice for reflection and recess. Often taking a colleague with him, many more team members have caught on. 

 

Similar to restaurants, fly fishing has a long and colorful history and contains significant technical steps. One of the most popular fly tying materials, especially for dry flies, comes from a hackle (any of the long, slender, often glossy feathers on the neck of a rooster). Fly tying requires patience, adaptation, experimentation, learning, and tradition – the same qualities we exude here at Rooster's. Our guests can dine here for life because our menu is constantly adapting and changing, while our traditions remain intact.

 

We feature an illustration of a Sulphur Dun fly tie prominently in our branding to remind ourselves and our guests of our ties to nature and our commitment to detail.

​

This is also one way we honor dear friend Jeff Wilkins, who passed away too soon in 2021. He was a fly fishing guide whom Chef Noble had the honor of knowing and fishing with on many occasions. The Sulphur Dun fly tie we feature in our branding is one of Jeff’s works of art.
