Griffith's Gnat

The Griffith's Gnat is an extremely versatile fishing fly. This pattern gives a good working impression of an emerging midge fighting for its freedom, and therefore is best fished during sunny spells when midges are hatching. The key to this patterns success lies in how it stands high on the surface film of the water. The tips of the hackle barbs leave tiny footprints on the surface of the water which mimic those created by the legs of a real insect. It can also makes an excellent grayling pattern.

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.

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.

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.

Sunray Shadow JC

The Sunray Shadow JC is an extremely simple and versatile fly that is extremely good at catching sea trout, steel head and pacific salmon. It is successful whether swinging high in the water, briskly crossing the current towards the bank, skating temptingly across a pool or simply allowed to play in the eddies and swirling currents that moving water creates.

Orange Drunken Daddy

The Drunken Daddy fishing fly is a great imitation of a daddy which has been caught out by the wind and sent flying straight into the water! These daddies do look like they have had a bit too much to drink! The orange body of this daddy pattern acts as an attractor if fish seem to have 'disappeared' for the day. The long knotted and dangly legs of the daddy fishing fly also helps attract fish from anywhere within the water column.

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.

Grey Snail

This grey snail, although plain in appearance, matches the typical colour found in many rivers and lakes. Any dirt which may arise while fishing adds to the effect, so you may only want to dab dry once done. Snails can make a great 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? 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.

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.

Hares Ear Booby

This pattern, like it's name, combines a proven hear's ear fly with a booby to make the Hare's Ear Booby! It's a great take on these two patterns which really work; we're a bit unsure as to why these are not more common in fishermen's flyboxes.
