Immediate Dispatch
Hook Sizes: 8
Note: You can alter a hooksize or fly after adding it to your basket.
The Black Zonker is a successfull stillwater attractor pattern and a great baitfish imitator.

The special tying generates excitment from the additional eye catching Jungle Cock to the tantalizing way the rabbit fur moves.

Apache Olive
Availablity:
Immediate Dispatch
Hook Sizes: 10
Note: You can alter a hooksize or fly after adding it to your basket.
This Apache series is probably the most exciting search pattern to hit stillwaters - lakes, ponds and reservoirs.
The pulsing movement of the mink body plus the stimulating flowing and eye catching movement of the marabou & flashabou tail is a serious killer.

Reflection Buzzer

A very attractive buzzer pattern which the fish find irresistible at times.
Its refective body stimulates aggressive takes.
Gold Head Pheasant Tail
Availablity:
Immediate Dispatch
Hook Sizes: 10, 12, 14
Note: You can alter a hooksize or fly after adding it to your basket.
The outstanding Pheasant Tail is not an imitation of a particular insect but a general representation pattern that that trout are fond of munching in England and America.
The goldhead allows you to get down in stillwaters and hold a depth in rivers.
Olive Shrimper
Availablity:
Immediate Dispatch
Hook Sizes: 10, 12, 14
Note: You can alter a hooksize or fly after adding it to your basket.
One should never leave home without a shrimp pattern in the flybox. They are readily available trout food throughout the season.
Most of the lakes and stillwaters have abundant shrimp populations living in the shallow areas of a lake in amongst the bottom vegetation.
Best colours are light olive to dark olive green and bodies are covered with a semi-translucent exoskeleton that gives them the segmented appearance.
Sunray Shadow
Availablity:
Immediate Dispatch
Hook Sizes: "1, "1 1/2, "1/2, "2, "3/4
Note: You can alter a hooksize or fly after adding it to your basket.
The Sunray Shadow is an extremely simple fly based on a very simple concept. It does what it's supposed to with a minimum of extras. The fly is basically a long, black wing on a tube, but with a stiff underwing to keep it from hooking itself and a visible top to add a little flash.
Just let the Sunray Shadow swing, high in the water, briskly crossing the current towards your own bank: or skate it temptingly across a pool.
This fly will work its simple magic when it plays in eddies and swirling currents that moving water creates; motion highlights the long and soft tail - into becoming what seems to be very much alive.
Pot Belly Pig Blue Max
Availablity:
Immediate Dispatch
Hook Sizes: 12mm, 22mm
Note: You can alter a hooksize or fly after adding it to your basket.
PBP Blue Max JC is a deadly salmon fly in clear or icy water; and 'probably' is one of the best in such conditions.
Pot Belly Pig Cascade
Availablity:
Immediate Dispatch
Hook Sizes: 12mm, 22mm
Note: You can alter a hooksize or fly after adding it to your basket.
A superb all rounder, effective in both clear and stained water; with plenty of electrifying and colourful movement.
The secret is that the wild boar bristles being added into the tail to give a "kick” to the fly! So the real key when fishing the pattern is using the Boar bristle antenna and splay them out so they pulse in the water and don't matt down. Pot Belly Pig’s stiff bristled tail creates a commotion.
Polar Shrimp Orange and Yellow
Availablity:
Immediate Dispatch
Hook Sizes: 5, 7, 9
Note: You can alter a hooksize or fly after adding it to your basket.
Primarily used when salmon have recently migrated from salt to fresh water, or for steelhead. Can be effective when river flows are turbid and you need a bright fly with more "presence."
