Suggested Patterns to get you started

Here are some recommended flies to help you get started, just in case you need a few ideas!

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.

Pearly Daddy

The Pearly Daddy is one of our most popular deadly fishing patterns, used equally throughout the season. Its gold head helps this fishing fly to sink deeper into the water column, where larger trout tend to swim. Fish this fly pattern in twitches to make the back legs pulsate, which grabs the attention of nearby trout. This fishing fly has legs with small knots half way to mimic the movement of a lifelike crane fly also known as a daddy long-legs (or Daddies).

The Fluo Klink 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 highly visible and is easy on the eye when fished on busy and faster water where visibility is key.

The Cut Throat Booby is an eye catching buoyant fly that is usually best fished on a sinking line and very short leader, 500 cm (24”).

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. It is a devastatingly effective fly that brings fish to the net in a wide variety of waters and conditions. A 'buggy' nymph that seems to imitates almost any natural nymph that trout find tasty. Let it tumble in runs and riffles or a deep water feeding channel in an English chalk stream or an Alaskan creek. Stripping it in still waters brings remarkable results.
