Colour Key:
Pheasant Tail
Hooks in Pack:10
No. of Flies:2
Alternative Hooks:14, 16, 10, 12
Note: You can alter a hooksize or fly after adding it to your basket.
No flybox should be without the Pheasant Tail for it is one of the most successful patterns ever to float on a stream, brook or river.
It's appearance suggests to the trout a wide range of appetizing food.
Iron Blue Dun
Hooks in Pack:14
No. of Flies:2
Alternative Hooks:14, 16
Note: You can alter a hooksize or fly after adding it to your basket.
The Iron Blue Dun is a standard hackled classic that has a permanent home in most UK dry flyfishers flyboxes.
It is representative of the male dun and the hatches occur throughout the season. Surprisingly often on poor weather days when there are no other dun to be seen.
Klinkhammer Olive
Hooks in Pack:14
No. of Flies:2
Alternative Hooks:14, 16
Note: You can alter a hooksize or fly after adding it to your basket.
Klinkhammers are different from many other parachute dry flies in that the thorax of the fly is designed to hang down through the surface of the water to imitate an emerging insect.
The exceptional trigger point is the body penetrating the surface film; which gets seen by trout from a greater distance, long before they see the surface footprint, creating exciting takes!
The most popular of the variations are olive.
Elk Winged Caddis Tan
Hooks in Pack:14
No. of Flies:2
Alternative Hooks:14, 16, 12
Note: You can alter a hooksize or fly after adding it to your basket.
This is a admirable variant of the Elk Hair Caddis, which is a true classic. This proven favourite has caught countless trout.
The popularity of this pattern is enhanced due to the robustness of the elk hair and its buoyancy, as well as the way the palmered hackle body makes it ride high on the water like a real fluttering caddis.
The fly floats well in rough water; and does work credibly well on slower water.
Detached Daddy
Hooks in Pack:10
No. of Flies:2
Alternative Hooks:10, 12
Note: You can alter a hooksize or fly after adding it to your basket.
Many Daddy Longlegs or Crane Flies are on the water from June to early October.
They make a decent mouthful and will often tempt when small traditional pattern are ignored
Parachute Greenwell's Glory
Hooks in Pack:14
No. of Flies:2
Alternative Hooks:14, 16
Note: You can alter a hooksize or fly after adding it to your basket.
This is brilliant variation of the Classic 'Greenwell's Glory' dry fly and is preferred by many anglers to the traditional; and is fast becoming a modern classic.
The fly can be fished static or on a varied retrieve via a floating line.
My favourite it to cast to a rising trout or cast upstream into a feed line.
Cinnamon Sedge Mottled
Hooks in Pack:10
No. of Flies:2
Alternative Hooks:10, 12
Note: You can alter a hooksize or fly after adding it to your basket.
There are many dressings for this fly, which works excellently as an all round dry fly, and has taken many trout for me.
I greatly enjoy fishing the dry, but this seems to work in all aspects. Drifting loch style, small stillwater, moorland brownies.
Hawthorne
Hooks in Pack:12
No. of Flies:2
Alternative Hooks:12
Note: You can alter a hooksize or fly after adding it to your basket.
On sunny spring days, hawthorn flies flit along the hedgerows and among low bushes; and if there is a good breeze, particularly on exposed upland streams and lakes, very many of these large flies end up on the water. These are the first of the terrestrial insects to cause a worthwhile rise.
Royal Wulff
Hooks in Pack:10
No. of Flies:3
Alternative Hooks:10, 12, 14, 16
Note: You can alter a hooksize or fly after adding it to your basket.
The Royal Wulff is used very successfully throughout the world as an attractor pattern.
Its bouyancy and visibility on fast tumbling waters is excellent, the red waistcoat gives an added trigger to stimulating the trout .
Adams
Hooks in Pack:10
No. of Flies:3
Alternative Hooks:10, 12, 14, 16
Note: You can alter a hooksize or fly after adding it to your basket.
The Adams has become one of the hottest favourites in flyboxes on both sides of the Atlantic.
Ray Bergman created this fly in the 1920's for his home waters in Michigan and is probably USAs' most popular pattern.
A good match for several American and European Upwinged flies, very acceptable likeness of an Iron Blue.
Griffith's Gnat
Hooks in Pack:20
No. of Flies:3
Alternative Hooks:16, 18, 20, 22, 24
Note: You can alter a hooksize or fly after adding it to your basket.
The Griffith's Gnat is an extremely versatile fly.
It gives a good working impression of a emerging midge fighting for its freedom.
A definite "must have fly" in ones' flybox around the world!
Griffith's Gnat stands high on the surface of the water; that's the key to its success. The tips of the hackle barbs must leave tiny footprints on the surface of the water mimicing to those created by the legs of a real insect.
