Suggested Patterns to get you started

Here are some recommended flies to help you get started, just in case you need a few ideas!

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.

Pearly Daddy

The Pearly Daddy is one of our most popular deadly fishing patterns, used equally throughout the season. It's gold head helps this fishing fly to sink deeper into the water column where larger trout tend to swim. Fish this fly pattern in twitches to make the back legs pulsate, which grabs the attention of nearby trout. This fishing fly has legs with small knots half way to mimic the movement of a lifelike crane fly also known as a daddy long-legs (or Daddies).

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.

Green Snail

Snails can make a great fly fishing pattern, either in the mid-summer heat or at the heart of winter, as they are a staple food source for fish; ever noticed any snails in the stomach of a fish that you have caught? Why only fish flies and ignore a fish's staple diet? In the summer months, if you notice snails floating on the surface use a floating line and a long leader and watch the line for the take, usually a gentle draw. During the colder months when fish are retreating in the depths of the water, snails are also clinging onto the water's bed. If nothing is working, try attaching a snail to a weighted sinking line to force the foam snail to sink down to the depths where the fish are also sitting. Snails can varying from lentil up to large pea in size.

Griffith's Gnat

The Griffith's Gnat is an extremely versatile fishing fly. This fly pattern gives a good working impression of an emerging midge fighting for its freedom. 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 is best between March and October and also makes an excellent grayling pattern.

Diawl Bach

The Diawl Bach is a very effective modern classic pattern, that has very quickly become a standard in stillwater flyboxes. This simple dressing is a killer that can be fished on any line, from floating to fast sinker and at most depths. Choose unweighted or lightly weighted nymphs for shallow or slow moving water. Medium weighted nymphs for slightly deeper or faster moving water, and your heaviest nymphs when you are dredging deep pools or have high and fast water conditions. Diawl Bach loosely translated means "Little Devil".

Grey Snail

This grey snail, although plain in appearance, matches the typical colour found in many rivers and lakes. Any dirt which may arise while fishing adds to the effect, so you may only want to dab dry once done. Snails can make a great fishing pattern, either in the mid-summer heat or at the heart of winter, as they are a staple food source for fish; ever noticed any snails in the stomach of a fish? In the summer months, if you notice snails floating on the surface use a Floating Line and a long leader and watch the line for the take, usually a gentle draw. During the colder months when fish are retreating in the depths of the water, snails are also clinging onto the water's bed. If nothing is working, try attaching a snail to a weighted Sinking Line to force the foam snail to sink down to the depths where the fish are also sitting. Snails can varying from lentil up to large pea in size.
