Dry flies

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.

One of the flies that No fly box should be without! This simple but classic dry fly pattern can imitate just about everything on the water that is black and can be fished the whole year round.

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.

One of the first terrestrial flies you see in the spring of the year is the Black Gnat..

Thank you for watching.

This is kind of the part two to Roger Woolley's "Compara Hackle" and also part two to Marinaro's Thorax Dun.

This pattern is really about a method or concept in a fly, and hence why it is a "series".

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.

On the rivers one of the first caddis flies to hatch is the Grannom and on the Lochs it would be the Alder in the UK and Ireland though these flies can be found in many countries as well..
