I have resisted tying all the patterns listed 38 plus the extras within the book's text but let's begin

These are two patterns Cutcliffe discusses within the text of the book and mentions how he uses these as his stretcher fly on a multiple fly rig.

Here's a slight variant of an island style bumble pattern that's loaded with movement and has a nice contrast of colours to suit a range of kight conditions.

This is a variant of a Shetland fly that was inspired by the Hamill's Killer streamer from New Zealand.

A slightly odd looking fly, the worm fly is essentially 2 red tags tied together, and in fact the original pattern was a tandem hook fly.

A popular fly in the North and West of Scotland, the Goat's Toe, is fairly easy to tie, and its variants, like this one aren't much different on that front.
