Black Midge Klinkhammer

The Black Midge Klinkhammer is one of the very successful and popular Klinkhammer series of flies that represent many emerging insect forms. The body penetrating the surface film is an exceptional trigger point as it gets seen by trout long before they see the surface footprint. This fly is ideal whenever midges or gnats are on the water.

March Brown Spider

The March Brown Spider is a classic wet spider pattern that's been a staple in the fly-fishing community for decades. Its effectiveness has been demonstrated on both running water and stillwater environments, making it a versatile option for a wide range of fishing scenarios. Imitating the hatching of March brown mayflies, its combination of a brown or ginger body and speckled hackle makes it a highly effective fly, particularly during the mayfly hatch in late spring and early summer; however this wet pattern is also favoured by many during the winter.

Hawthorne Hopper

The Hawthorne is ideal for use on sunny spring days when hawthorn flies flit along the hedgerows and among low bushes. Hawthorne flies are the first of the terrestrial insects to cause a worthwhile rise. Although best between April and the end of May it is also successful through the summer when black gnats are on the water. The Hawthorne Hopper is to the average fly fisherman a large gnat with two dangling hairy legs. This dressing is a very fair imitation and works well, when the trout are in the mood.

Stewart's Black Spider

Stewart's Black Spider is a type of Wet Spider fly that was created over 160 years ago by Scottish fly tyer W.C. Stewart. Despite its age, this classic spider pattern has remained highly effective and is still a go-to pattern for many anglers today. The Stewart's Black Spider is an understated yet highly effective pattern that features a simple black body and a generous amount of hackle. This combination of materials gives the impression of a rising sedge pupa with air trapped in its shuck, making it highly effective for imitating a wide range of prey species in the water.

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 vegetation is scarce and trout are foraging for any available food source, the Green Snail becomes particularly effective. 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.

Grey Wulff

The Grey Wulff is a classic dry fly pattern that was first developed by American fly-fisherman Lee Wulff in the 1930s. The fly is designed to imitate the adult stage of the grey caddis, which is a type of caddisfly that is commonly found in the rivers and streams of North America. It is usually tied with grey or dark gray coloured deer hair for the body, which mimics the natural colour of the grey caddis. The fly is tied to be bushy, high floating and to remain visible into the evening twilight, to mimic the natural appearance of the grey caddis. The versatility and effectiveness of the Grey Wulff fly means it can be fished in a variety of water conditions, including rough water. It's also known for its ability to ride well on the surface of the water, which makes it an effective fly for targeting rising fish in fast water.

Black Adult Buzzer

The Black Adult Buzzer is deadly when buzzers, which are an important source of food for fish, are hatching. Buzzer midges emerge rapidly from the water, leaving their pupal shucks floating on the surface. They fly in large swarms, often making a loud buzzing sound even though an individual buzzer is barely audible on its own. When the adults return to the water to lay their eggs, they are again vulnerable to surface-feeding trout.

Simmons Attractor

Alan developed this fly in 1986 when he had a group of anglers from Switzerland with him and were helicopter fishing the mountain rivers of the West Coast of the South Island, NZ. At that time these rivers were quite unspoiled and were rarely fished, so fish were not angler shy. 2nd. January 1986, the weather was very warm, and on the breakfast table he tied up a fly on a number 8 long shank using a lot of materials from the Christmas tree. His friend John Boyles who guided some of my party scoffed at the fly, saying it looked like a "Christmas Tree". He sneakily picked one up from the table and stuck it into his fishing jacket anyway! The fish were rising steadily to most well-presented flies but failed to take anything offered. John put on the "Christmas Tree" for a joke. Naturally the fish rose and took the fly nicely, the whole moment was captured on video, including the expressions of surprise and humour at "such a dumb fish". The great strength of this fly is that it floats high and was very visible in fast rivers but to his surprise it works equally well on still water and these days has become the fly of choice for many anglers on lakes and reservoirs.

Black Ghost

The Black Ghost is a type of streamer pattern that is typically used for fly fishing for larger predatory fish. It's an American fly pattern that was created many years ago, and it has been a very successful and popular lure among anglers. The Black Ghost is characterized by its black body, usually made with black floss or chenille, and a silver wrapping to give it a metallic look. It's contrasted by a large white wing and a bright yellow tail. The bright colours and the large size of the Black Ghost make it an effective pattern for imitating a variety of prey species such as baitfish, leeches, and crayfish. The streamer is usually fished using a variety of retrieve methods, such as slow strips, twitching, or a steady retrieve.

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.

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.
