Who is Sid Knight?

Sid Knight was a professional fly dresser and passionate game fisherman based in Bridgnorth, Shropshire, who dedicated over 40 years to the craft, tying everything from dry flies and nymphs through to sea trout and salmon patterns.

His most celebrated creation, the Dog Nobbler, became a classic British lure that proved deadly not only on stillwaters for trout but also for sea trout in salt. Beyond the Dog Nobbler, patterns such as his Goldhead Pearly Daddy and his buzzer series earned him a loyal following; the Pearly Daddy in particular proved effective both as a stalking pattern presented to individual fish and as a searching fly worked back through open water.

Sid is sadly no longer with us, but his flies and his meticulous standards live on; and as any angler who ever fished one of his patterns will tell you, his legacy is very much still on the water.
