Holy Grail Hare's Ear

The Holy Grail Hare's Ear is one of the highly succussful Holy Grail series of flies. It is one of the most versatile nymphs for trout ever tied, an absolute killer in any 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 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.

Epoxy Buzzer 3D Bloodworm

The Epoxy Buzzer 3D Bloodworm is extremely effective when fished drifting on the wind currents from a floating line. It contains a large amount of red colour, designed to imitate the mature blood worm, or early stage of a chironomids pupa which are part of the staple food source for trout.

Pearly Daddy

The Pearly Daddy is one of our most popular deadly fishing patterns, used equally throughout the season. The gold head of the Pearly Daddy helps it to sink deeper into the water column, where larger trout tend to swim, providing a highly effective presentation for anglers targeting these predatory fish. To maximize its effectiveness, the Pearly Daddy should be fished with twitches, which cause the back legs to pulsate and grab the attention of nearby trout. The legs of this fly are tied with small knots halfway down, mimicking the movement of a lifelike crane fly, making the Pearly Daddy a highly effective and realistic option for anglers. It's a great choice for anglers fishing in clear and bright conditions, as the gold head and lifelike representation of a crane fly or daddy long-legs provides a highly visible and attractive presentation in the water. Whether fishing in rivers, streams, or still waters, the Pearly Daddy is a versatile and productive pattern that is sure to bring success to anglers targeting a variety of fish species.

Sparkle Pheasant Tail

The Sparkle Pheasant Tail is a real killing pattern that represents a highly desirable bug for trout and grayling in both England and America. The added tinsel and flashback are genuine trigger points adding extra attraction to the fish, while the golden beadhead helps the fly sink quickly and maintain a consistent depth, making it ideal for fishing in still waters and fast-moving rivers. This can make a highly effective fly fishing pattern, especially during the colder months when fishing conditions can be challenging, as those big trout and grayling that sit quietly hugging the bottom are often tempted by this tasty looking morsel. As the days start to get longer and the water begins to warm up, the activity of trout and grayling starts to increase, and the Sparkle Pheasant Tail can be especially effective. Its lifelike appearance and natural movement in the water can trigger predatory instincts in fish, making them more likely to strike. Whether you're fishing in a rivers or lakes, the Sparkle Pheasant Tail is a versatile and dependable fly that should be in every angler's fly box.

Klinkhammer Olive

The Klinkhammer Olive is just one of the very successful Klinkhammer series of fishing flies. They 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. It also makes an excellent grayling fishing pattern.
