White Miller

Miller patterns have been a staple in fly fishing for many years, and for good reason. They are effective and versatile, able to imitate a variety of insects that are important food sources for trout and other species of fish. The White Miller is a particularly effective pattern, designed to imitate a type of American caddis that emerges at night. But the White Miller is not just limited to imitating caddis; it is also effective in imitating moths, which are an important food source for fish. The silky silver and white colouring of the fly creates a sleek and realistic appearance, making it an excellent choice for low light conditions, such as dawn and dusk, or in overcast conditions. The bright white colour also makes it highly visible to the angler, making it easier to follow the fly as it drifts through the water. With its multi-functional capabilities and its ability to imitate a variety of insects, the White Miller is a pattern that should be in every fly fisherman's arsenal.

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.

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.

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.
