Liquorice Allsort

The liquorice allsort is essentially a claret bumble muddler variant that originated in Scotland's central belt and has become popular among loch fishers as far afield as the Shetland islands.

Shenk's Sculpin

An oldie but a goodie, Shenk's sculpin is a deadly little streamer pattern that works for trout and bass anywhere you find sculpins, bullheads, miller's thumbs or similar small minnows.

Fox Squirrel Crayfish

This simple little crayfish imitation is great for spring smallmouth bass. It's durable, easy to tie and offers an ideal silhouette for the bass.

Barr's Viz-A-Dun

John Barr's Viz-A-Dun is a great little mayfly pattern that is durable, floats well and makes a great indicator style dry fly for hanging a small emerger or micro dry behind.

Sand Fly

This sand fly imitation is one of two that are listed in John Reid's Clyde Style flies. It's a great fly for early to mid season fishing and well worth having in your box.

Copper Nymph

The Copper Nymph is a Scottish fly that could be seen as something of a precursor to the Copper John, but it's a fantastic river pattern for trout and grayling in its own right.

Duo Style Klinkhamer

Whether you call it the duo, New Zealand style, hedged bet or klink & dink, hanging a nymph of of a dry fly is an absolutely deadly method at times.

Dark Needle

The dark needle is a great pattern from Edmonds & Lee's "Brook and River Trouting". It's ideal toward the end of the season and is very effective when there are small stoneflies on the water.

Lime Trude

The Lime Trude is an effective attractor dry. Representing nothing specific, it's an ideal choice for prospecting, especially with a nymph dropper.

Jig Hook Peeping Caddis

The peeping caddis is an absolutely fantastic nymph for trout and grayling year round. This jig hook version is ideal for all styles of nymphing and should be in every river angler's box.

Deep Flatwing

This version of the popular flat wing is ideal when fishing at depth with fast sinking lines. The hidden tungsten cone sinks the fly at a rate comparable with the faster sinkers which helps avoid tan...

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...
