Soft Hackle Emerger

One of my favorite Autumn patterns to fish. A soft hackle emerger that incorporates some classic materials and a couple of useful techniques.

Lady Mc Connell Midge

The Lady Mc Connell Midge is an interesting, but yet straightforward tie that applies only basic materials. An effective still water pattern that represents an newly hatched adult midge.

A cracking little nymph with lots of bling. Three great materials, copper wire, Pheasant tail and peacock herl make this a great pocket water pattern that gets down deep quick.

This one feather flat-wing is a cracking pattern not only for the salt, but when tied in black or olive is a great fresh water big fish pattern.

One of the early British still water patterns created by Ken Sinfoil for catching 'fry bashing' trout. Fry bashing is the equivalent of a hatch but with newly hatched coarse fish fry.

A very simple but yet effective, all CDC emerger that uses a few nice CDC techniques for a super buoyant Hi-Vis emerger.

One of the true classic trout flies and without doubt the best known from the Wulff series, first tied by Lee Wulff in the early 1930's.
