Was out fishing today at Aldin Grange. It started off canny then the weather got windy, cold and wet. The fishing was hard. Fish kept mouthing the fly then turning away. I managed 2 but me mother, father and me mate got none

I can tye ye a few up knocaveoboy. I dont tie for a living but just do odd flies for other folk. Ill be tying and the Stanhope show and St Johns Chapel show this summer to.
Darcy, for a bigger wake i use a deerhair body to. You should see my latest design makes more wake than a ice breaker
Ne bother. If some of the flies are squashed a bit from the journey hold them in the steam of a boiling pan until they spring back to life
Give us a bell when you want somemore

What the feck do you class as hardcore, 3 bricks or was it because you had a few shandies the night before and thought it was hardcore stay off the shandies and jelly babies :11:
Them klinkhammers can do everything. Those are in size 14 an imitate emerging flies and hatched flies at the same time. Colour and size can change accordingly. Theyre a very good indiactor to an oncoming hatch i.e you start taking fish using one when theres nothing hatched, the flies are just emerging Have you ever tried them like?

In recent year ive found modern dries far more effective than the ye olde types. 1 because theyre more boyant and 2 because they are more imative.
A couple that i have found to be the best, ever.
