Popular Fly Fishing Flies for United Kingdom during December

In early spring, the water temperature is still cold despite the sun feeling stronger by the day. We have written a guide for sunny cold waters, suggesting flies to get you started.

In addition, the below selection of fly fishing flies are widely used in United Kingdom right now in December. It can be quite daunting when choosing from the huge range of fly fishing patterns available on the market, so we have created a quick guide to highlight which flies work best for each season.

We also publish an online monthly Top 10 Chart for the best fly fishing flies being used on the water each and every month.

Gold Ribbed Hare's Ear

Gold Ribbed Hare's Ear

The Gold Ribbed Hare's Ear is arguably the most effective fly of all time. It is not an imitation of any particular insect but instead a general representation pattern that is hugely successful in taking fish. Whether tumbling down a feeding channel or gently retrieved in a still water this is a real killer. The scruffy, shaggy appearance of the Hare's Ear certainly appeals to both fly fishers and fish alike, so much so that if ever limited to one fly for the rest of their lives many anglers would choose the GRHE. It is an excellent grayling pattern that is without doubt a must have pattern in any fly box.

Apache White

Apache White

The Apache White is probably the most exciting and devastatingly successful fishing pattern to hit lakes, ponds and reservoirs. The pulsing movement of the white mink body plus the stimulating flowing and eye catching movement of the marabou and flashabou tail make it a serious killer. Two to three short jerks followed by a steady retrieve then pause, repeat and be ready for savage takes.

GH Gold Ribbed Hare's Ear

GH Gold Ribbed Hare's Ear

The GH Gold Ribbed Hare’s Ear is probably the greatest all around nymph pattern ever created and rightly deserves to be in fly boxes around the world. It is not an imitation of any particular insect but instead a general representation pattern that takes fish both in England, America and Europe. The gold head allows you to hold a depth in rivers and get down in still waters. Those big trout and grayling that sit quietly hugging the bottom are often tempted by this morsel.

Pearly Daddy

Pearly Daddy

The Pearly Daddy is one of our most popular deadly fishing patterns, used equally throughout the season. The gold head of the Pearly Daddy helps it to sink deeper into the water column, where larger trout tend to swim, providing a highly effective presentation for anglers targeting these predatory fish. To maximize its effectiveness, the Pearly Daddy should be fished with twitches, which cause the back legs to pulsate and grab the attention of nearby trout. The legs of this fly are tied with small knots halfway down, mimicking the movement of a lifelike crane fly, making the Pearly Daddy a highly effective and realistic option for anglers. It's a great choice for anglers fishing in clear and bright conditions, as the gold head and lifelike representation of a crane fly or daddy long-legs provides a highly visible and attractive presentation in the water. Whether fishing in rivers, streams, or still waters, the Pearly Daddy is a versatile and productive pattern that is sure to bring success to anglers targeting a variety of fish species.

Griffith's Gnat

Griffith's Gnat

The Griffith's Gnat is an extremely versatile fishing fly. This pattern gives a good working impression of an emerging midge fighting for its freedom, and therefore is best fished during sunny spells when midges are hatching. The key to this patterns success lies in how it stands high on the surface film of the water. The tips of the hackle barbs leave tiny footprints on the surface of the water which mimic those created by the legs of a real insect. It can also makes an excellent grayling pattern.

Apache Orange

Apache Orange

The Apache Orange is one of the enormously successful and exciting series of Apache flies that produce excellent results in all still waters. The pulsing movement of the mink body plus the stimulating flowing and eye catching movement of the marabou and flashabou tail help to make this pattern a serious killer. Savage takes often occur after two or three short jerks followed by a steady retrieve.

Sparkle Pheasant Tail

Sparkle Pheasant Tail

The Sparkle Pheasant Tail is a real killing pattern that represents a highly desirable bug for trout and grayling in both England and America. The added tinsel and flashback are genuine trigger points adding extra attraction to the fish, while the golden beadhead helps the fly sink quickly and maintain a consistent depth, making it ideal for fishing in still waters and fast-moving rivers. This can make a highly effective fly fishing pattern, especially during the colder months when fishing conditions can be challenging, as those big trout and grayling that sit quietly hugging the bottom are often tempted by this tasty looking morsel. As the days start to get longer and the water begins to warm up, the activity of trout and grayling starts to increase, and the Sparkle Pheasant Tail can be especially effective. Its lifelike appearance and natural movement in the water can trigger predatory instincts in fish, making them more likely to strike. Whether you're fishing in a rivers or lakes, the Sparkle Pheasant Tail is a versatile and dependable fly that should be in every angler's fly box.

Epoxy Buzzer 3D Bloodworm

Epoxy Buzzer 3D Bloodworm

The Epoxy Buzzer 3D Bloodworm is extremely effective when fished drifting on the wind currents from a floating line. It contains a large amount of red colour, designed to imitate the mature blood worm, or early stage of a chironomids pupa which are part of the staple food source for trout. Tiny buzzers, midges and chironomid flies inhabit lakes and slow flowing rivers and often appear in vast swarms on most still waters.

Holy Grail Hare's Ear

Holy Grail Hare's Ear

The Holy Grail Hare's Ear is one of the highly succussful Holy Grail series of flies. It is one of the most versatile nymphs for trout ever tied, an absolute killer in any water. It is a devastatingly effective fly that brings fish to the net in a wide variety of waters and conditions. A 'buggy' nymph that seems to imitates almost any natural nymph that trout find tasty. Let it tumble in runs and riffles or a deep water feeding channel in an English chalk stream or an Alaskan creek. Stripping it in still waters brings remarkable results.

Montana Damsel

Montana Damsel

The Montana Damsel imitates the small damsel nymphs which are such an important part of the staple food of trout. It is a fish taker on still waters everywhere. The marabou tail creates great movement and the gold bead is also a stimulating trigger point. Retrieve with quick, short strips and the Montana Damsel nymph will imitate the Stoneflies and Damsel nymphs migrating to the water's edge. The Gold Bead weighted head is ideal for a sink and draw retrieve, allowing the damsel to dive then temptingly dart up and forwards.
