Mayfly Emerger

A real quick and effective mayfly emerger that is a great pattern to have when the hatch is on. Just adjust the hook size and colour to match your hatch.

Paraloop & CDC March Brown

A great river fly with a little different hackle technique, that results in a nice wing effect and realistic footprint.

Foam Body Mayfly

A foam extended body mayfly with a parachute hackle that will float all day long and then some. Don't be fooled by this simple pattern that is not as challenging to tie as it looks, it just takes a li...

Nervous Blonde

The nervous blonde is a bleached elk hair and CDC adult caddis fly, that can be seen at a distance even in low light.

Danica Mayfly Nymph

A nice, not so difficult semi realistic nymph, for one of the largest mayflies. This one has a couple of good techniques that you can use in other patterns.

Rubber Leg Hares Ear

A buggy rubber leg hares ear, that works great as a generic nymph. Tie them in light and dark hares ear with your choice of colour for the wing case.

Delta Wing Caddis

A delta wing caddis with an interesting body technique that can be put to good use in many other caddis patterns.

Devil Bug

A remarkably simple pattern, that shouldn't be underestimated! Known by many names, the Devil bug, Cooper bug and Goofus bug, it can be tied in all manner of colours and with bleached or natural elk o...

Big Hole Demon

Is it a nymph, is it a streamer? Well the Big Hole Demon is a bit of both and is said to be the best fly for the Big Hole River.

Crackleback Variant

This quick and easy, but unusual attractor pattern is one well worth trying. Taking only a few minutes to tie, this high floating bug will bring curious and even lethargic trout up from the depths.

Braided Damsel

A quick and simple adult damsel with an extended body maid from braided backing line. A pattern that works wonders during the summer months on lakes with prolific damsel hatches.

Holo Pheasant Tail

A simple generic pheasant tail variant from basic materials, that works well, wherever-whenever. It's interesting how a couple of elementary adjustments can make a pattern so different.

Hot Spot Gammarus

When gammarus shrimps are attacked by a parasitic worm, the parasite is visible from the outside as a red/orange dot.

Yellow May

A quick but easy, semi realistic size 12 yellow mayfly dun with Wally wings. Another good looking pattern that illustrates a few techniques that can be put to good use, in other patterns.

White Wulff

The White Wulff along with the Grey Wulff and Royal Wulff are the original series that Lee Wulff designed himself.

Transformer

A simple but effective generic attractor. The transformer is an excellent pattern to fish dry when nothing in particular is happening on the surface.

Hackle Tip Adams

Probably the most used dry fly ever! The great Danish fly tyer, Poul Jorgensen, recalled a conversation with Ed Van Put while fishing the Beaverkill, he asked what was the best fly to use.

Yellow Damsel

A real quick & easy tie for a super effective attractor pattern. It also includes a couple of good to know techniques that can be carried over to other patterns.

Stalking Bug

A simple little bug, that is not only great for stalking fish in clear water, but also a very effective jig to use when nothing particular is happening on the surface.

Cormorant Mini Lure

Although a quick and easy tie, this is one of the most popular and effective mini lures of recent years.

Magic Glass Caddis

A bright heavy duty caddis larva with a transparent abdomen and body veiling. Perfect for late season trout and grayling that are holding deep.

Suspender Midge

A size 18 suspender midge that has probably accounted for its fare share of fish over the years. Tie it in any colour from small to large.

Water Boatman

Probably the most important water beetle when it comes to still waters. The water boatman is a quick and simple tie although semi realistic.

Palmered Shipman's

A super quick and easy variant of the still water classic, that never grows old. This CDC Shipman's has the added advantage of a palmered body hackle, that in combination with the CDC will keep this f...
