This is a great little nymph that works very well from May to September.
Cracking stillwater lure/ nymph hybrid..
A three-turn water knot, easy and quick way of creating droppers.
A simple Blood Knot an easy way of attaching the fly to your tippet…
Yes, it’s obscene, BUT it serves a purpose.
With most grayling rivers being bait fished and most with maggots, following a bait fisher hampers your catch rate, so copy what they are fishing with, simple!
As they fish seem to be moving onto pinfry, this little dry fly can work very well.
It can be fished the whole year through really once the trout are up, but just now it excels!
I have used this for years and it rarely let’s me down…
Use it to catch pinfry feeders in June to sticklebacks feeders in September and October…
I’d advise using glue after securing the foam and the eyes for a more durable fly..
An exceptional dry fly for river anglers, one that will mimic all manner of upwinged flies.
This is my take on the Heather Fly, a meaty terrestrial that can be found on most upland waters.
Fish it as you would with other dries, but focus your attention around the water’s edges!
One of my favourites to fish on it’s own with a SWEEP fly line, best conditions seem to be in flat calms where you have total line control, strange I know, but true..
A very simple way of creating highly visible Hang Markers for your fly lines so that you can gauge where your flies are fishing in the water so that you can catch more trout!
An easy fly to tie and it catches loads of fish!!

My variation of the Candy Booby, the Candy Cat.
I feel that this fly can often excel over the original for the most part of the fishing year. The inclusion of the green just adds another dimension, this lime green is so good for stocked rainbows and indeed brown trout, try it, I’m sure that you won’t be disappointed!
This Candy Blob, brought about and popularised by well known reservoir angler Iain Barr, has seen a real uptake in users over the last couple of year.
It’s a good pattern to try when the brighter Blobs switch off!
A Cat’s Whisker variant from my mate Nigel Burns.
This fly will work when most Blobs etc are failing, it changes colour when it’s in the water, you’ll need to take my word for it though.
This fly is designed for Rutland Water but will work its magic on most waters that have vast weedbeds.
The original fly – and how to dress it – was shown to me by Dave Docherty, AKA Curly, a man that lived on the water for years and was thought of as the main man on that amazing venue.
My favourite nymph for tackling those better trout that frequent the weedbeds of large lakes and reservoirs.
