Another easy tie for a great little pattern. The pheasant tail shuttlecock is very buggy and a perfect pattern for still waters. Best fished static with a few twitches every now and then.

A very attractive grayling and trout soft hackle spider. Although very simple this deadly pattern is a true classic.

An unusual Slow Water caddis dry fly pattern with a double wing and dense hackle made for those days when the fish are rising steady.

This simple LDO emerger is excellent for rivers and can be adapeted to suit essentially any if the smaller upwing species including on stillwaters from march browns to olives to PMDs.

This tasty little chironomid is excellent for trout and grayling and can be tied in essentially any colour to match the midges where you fish.

A lovely little Caddis with three nice techniques for the body, wing and hackle. This pattern can be used for any of the smaller caddis species.

A pattern for the arrival of the first caddis of the year. A quick almost unsinkable pattern with a little hot spot and a buggy / leggy appearance.

When the Green Drakes (the largest of the may flies) hatches, it’s the trout- and grayling fly fisher’s best chance for some of the river’s largest fish on a dry fly.

Im calling this a feather wing caddis but Im sure there is an actual name for this fly since I am not the first person to tie something like this. I just don't know the name.

The word midge has a duality of meanings – at least for fly tiers and fly fishermen. First of all, it can mean: a very small fly, natural or artificial.

Excellent fly sublimation of rooster feather and CDC. Holds up well on the water on a rooster feather and shows a super CDC silhouette.
