Shuttlecock Emerger

A little shuttlecock emerger with a couple of different body & wing techniques. Hook: Ahrex FW511 #10 Tying thread: Sheer 14/0 Olive Trailing shuck: Parapost fibres

Hair Wing Adams

This is a very interesting variant of one of the most popular dry flies in the world. Surprisingly this great pattern, that doubles just as well for a caddis fly as it does a mayfly is very little use...

Foam Post March Brown

A simple but extremely effective March Brown emerger that can be tied in sizes 10-16. The foam post and parachute hackle give perfect presentation and will float all day long.

Three simple dubbing techniques

This is another very important tutorial, illustrating how the same dubbing can be used in three different techniques for three very different results.

Muskrat Nymph

A little variant of Andre Puyan's famous Muskrat mayfly nymph. Hook: Mustad S60 nymph hook # 8-14 Tying thread: Sheer 14/0 Brown Tail: Moose body hair

Quick Foam Hopper

You don't need anything more complicated for fishing a grasshopper. This is a quick and extremely easy pattern that everyone can tie. Just change the colour and size you need to match the hatch.

Grizzly Muddler

A little twist on a well known classic with a couple old but good techniques. One of my most productive streamers, especially for sea run browns. Hook: Mustad S71 # 4

Chocolate & Vanilla Chomper

One of the first patterns I tied and fished. The original had a Raffia shell back. This quick and easy pattern is still catching fish for me today, in both fresh and salt water.

Black Gnat

This # 16 wet fly is loosely based upon Halford's original dry that is still used by a great deal of anglers today.

Red Panama

I have chosen this classic fancy French pattern, not only for it's exquisite proportions and artistry, but also for how many techniques there are to be learned in one single pattern: Tippet tailing

Spent Green Drake

Another technique for a spent mayfly. Spent mayflies have their wings slightly raised in a more up right position to 45° as with this pattern, if you would like it to represent a spent spinner, just p...

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.
