Griffith's Gnat

The Griffith's Gnat is an extremely versatile fishing fly. This pattern gives a good working impression of an emerging midge fighting for its freedom, and therefore is best fished during sunny spells when midges are hatching. The key to this patterns success lies in how it stands high on the surface film of the water. The tips of the hackle barbs leave tiny footprints on the surface of the water which mimic those created by the legs of a real insect. It can also makes an excellent grayling pattern.

Black Midge Klinkhammer

The Black Midge Klinkhammer is one of the very successful and popular Klinkhammer series of flies that represent many emerging insect forms. The body penetrating the surface film is an exceptional trigger point as it gets seen by trout long before they see the surface footprint. This fly is ideal whenever midges or gnats are on the water.

Klinkhammer Grey

The Klinkhammer Grey is just one of the very successful Klinkhammer series of flies. They are different from many other parachute dry flies in that the thorax of the fly is designed to hang down through the surface of the water to imitate an emerging insect. The exceptional trigger point is the body penetrating the surface film which gets seen by trout from a greater distance, long before they see the surface footprint. It is an excellent grayling pattern.

Stewart's Black Spider

Stewart's Black Spider is a type of Wet Spider fly that was created over 160 years ago by Scottish fly tyer W.C. Stewart. Despite its age, this classic spider pattern has remained highly effective and is still a go-to pattern for many anglers today. The Stewart's Black Spider is an understated yet highly effective pattern that features a simple black body and a generous amount of hackle. This combination of materials gives the impression of a rising sedge pupa with air trapped in its shuck, making it highly effective for imitating a wide range of prey species in the water.

Shuttlecock Yellow Owl CDC

The Shuttlecock Yellow Owl CDC is a modern classic, a subtle yet highly effective emerger-style dry fly that suspends just beneath the surface film using the natural buoyancy of CDC feathers. Designed to entice discerning trout in calm, still or slow-flowing waters, its understated profile triggers instinctive strikes from raised fish.

Gold Ribbed Hare's Ear

The Gold Ribbed Hare's Ear is arguably the most effective fly of all time. It is not an imitation of any particular insect but instead a general representation pattern that is hugely successful in taking fish. Whether tumbling down a feeding channel or gently retrieved in a still water this is a real killer. The scruffy, shaggy appearance of the Hare's Ear certainly appeals to both fly fishers and fish alike, so much so that if ever limited to one fly for the rest of their lives many anglers would choose the GRHE. It is an excellent grayling pattern that is without doubt a must have pattern in any fly box.

Black Foam Hawthorn

The Black Foam Hawthorn combines strong surface presence with exceptional flotation, making it a go-to pattern when fish demand a visible, buoyant target. The black foam body provides a bold, high-contrast silhouette; excellent for detection in slightly stained or low-light water. The naturals form swarms on the banks of rivers and lakes, often near hawthorn trees. They are easily blown onto the water and trout take them readily!

Sparkle Gnat

The Sparkle Gnat is a refined, eye-catching variant of the traditional Black Gnat, one of the most trusted dry flies in fly fishing history. By adding subtle sparkle to the classic profile, this pattern brings an extra touch of attraction that can prove irresistible to selective trout. Gnats, midges, and small black terrestrials make up a significant portion of a trout's natural diet, often in huge numbers throughout spring, summer, and early autumn. The Sparkle Gnat imitates these small, vulnerable insects with just the right balance of naturalism and flash. Its delicate silhouette convinces wary fish, while the glint of sparkle provides the trigger that can turn inspection into a confident take. This fly is especially effective on calm days when fish rise to sip tiny black insects trapped in the surface film. From stillwaters and reservoirs to rivers and streams, the Sparkle Gnat deserves a place in every angler’s fly box.
