Lightsaber

The Lightsaber is a very effective fly for pollock, cod, coalfish and other cold saltwater species. Try it in various colours and sizes for different locations.

Jack Frost

The Jack Frost is an old still water lure pattern that has lost popularity over the years. However, it is still very effective and this modern competition style mini-lure version is a great choice for...

Dirty Yellow Mayfly

This bushy top dropper can be very effective around mayfly time, but is also worth having in the box later in the season too.

Lifeboat Dun

The Lifeboat Dun is a great dry fly option for fish that have become a bit selective during a mayfly hatch.

Grey Rollover Mayfly

Patsy Deery's Rollover Mayfly is a great choice for blowy days when the fish are up eating duns on the surface. It also makes a pretty decent dapping fly when the mayfly is on,.

Flashback Stalking Chomper

This variation on an old stalwart is a great stalking bug that remains popular for sight fishing small still waters.

Whisky Muddler

This little muddler is a real fish catcher. More compact than the traditional whisky fly, this still causes plenty of disturbance but is more likely to elicit a positive eat.

Kate McLaren Muddler

The Kate McLaren is a great fly in its own right, this muddler version just adds a bit more fish pulling power.

Hot Hare's Ear Suspender Buzzer

This suspender buzzer is a great choice for those dull overcast days where the UV index is high, the fluorescent material really pops in those conditions helping the fish to pick the fly out.To sup

Pheasant Tail Shuttlecock

The shuttlecock is one of the most popular still water dry flies with good reason. This simple pheasant tail version is a great choice for picky fish and is generally best fished singly for quick cas...

Making Orkney Peach Dubbing

As promised here's the video of how to prepare your own Orkney peach dubbing. The process is pretty easy and you can experiment with other colours or dubbing ingredients; this is how I prepare the fl...

Watten Warrior

Although it hails from Loch Watten in Caithness, the Watten Warrior is effective anywhere you're fishing wets for browns.

Yellow Tip

Billy Quail's yellow tip is a simple but very effective little fly for calmer conditions. Most effective in smaller sizes, it fishes particularly well near the surface when fish are on midges or small...

Doobry

The Doobry is an excellent bumble style attractor pattern that is loved by both wild and stocked fish. Certainly it should be in your box if fishing the lochs of Western Scotland.

Orkney Peach Muddler

Fished on top dropper or on the point this fly a great option for drawing fish to your team and is a fantastic taker of fish both wild and stocked.

Lethal Weapon

Rab Adam tied this fly for Ayrshire's reservoirs, but it certainly works well further afield. To support my channel and enter the giveaways head to https://www.patreon.com/flickingfeathers and become ...

Soldier Palmer (fluoro variant)

The Soldier Palmer is a well known traditional wet fly, but not one I'm particularly fond of. However, I have found this fluorescent version with a brushed dubbing body to be more effective and worth...

Near Perfect Buzzer

Another of Stan Headley's flies, the near perfect buzzer is an excellent chironomid imitation for loch style fishing.

Irishman's Claret

More compact than a dabbler but offering a heavier form than a bumble, the Irishman's Claret is a nice wet fly pattern for the top dropper that fishes best in a decent wave.

Pudding House

This traditional Welsh wet fly works well in a sedge hatch or as a more general prospecting fly. It's not particularly flashy or bright, but it certainly looks like food.

Blootch

George Barron's Blootch is a lovely modern traditional wet. It offers a more compact form than the bumble with lots of movement in the palmered hen hackles.

Blae, Black & Orange

This little winged wet is a great choice anywhere you find heather fly falling on the water. To support my channel and enter the giveaways head to https://www.patreon.com/flickingfeathers and become a...

T&S Nymph

The T&S nymph was published by Trout & Salmon magazine sometime in the 1990s and although it's fallen from favour in recent years it is a good taker of fish in both rivers and stillwaters.
