FLY PACKS & SELECTIONS

Where English brown trout differ from most trout around the world is the super-abundance of food in the chalkstreams; for every item they eat a hundred or more will pass by untouched. This is why Halford, Skues, Sawyer and all the fly fishing greats constantly invented and refined patterns to outwit our wily natives.

Of course, some days the fish take just about any fly presented any way, but those days are generally the exception. Trout are seasonal in what they eat and when so, with that in mind I have created a selection of Month-by-Month Packs, the Ultimate Chalkstream Collection and a 72 Fly Hatch Calendar selection.

All packs include a FREE tapered leader (RRP £2.75), the length and tippet strength are chosen to suit the style of precision presentation required.

Post and packing is FREE in the UK for everything BUT an order of a lone single pack. Call or email for overseas shipping costs.

 
 
 


THE ULTIMATE CHALKSTREAM FLY COLLECTION



The Ultimate Chalkstream Fly Collection (seven packs) 
£119.00            Add to cart

Order all seven packs, which includes seven tapered leaders, (grayling selection sold separately) and I will send you a free copy of my Hatch Calendar.

Running to eighteen pages it is packed with photographs, illustrations and advice to cover the entire chalkstream season. See how, where and when to the use the flies in each pack.

 

HATCH CALENDAR SELECTION

Hatch Calendar Selection

My Hatch Calendar Selection is a new, and I believe unique, resource that takes the guesswork out of picking the right fly. With password protected access to my subscriber-only web page you will be able to match the hatch to pick the right fly, for the right moment for any given time of day on a chalkstream.

So, for instance, a Black Gnat is illustrated and described as below as are all the other 35 patterns.

When you buy the Hatch Calendar Selection not only will you receive a fully prepared fly box but also access the subscriber-only web page. Alternatively, buy an Annual Subscriber Pass.

Black Gnat

Type: Dry

Imitates: Gnats & Reed Smuts

Month: Apr-Sep

Time of Day: All Day

Sizes: 14 16

Tippet: 4X - 6X

A generic name for a variety of small flat winged terrestrials that hatch in abundance. Trout will feed avidly when they get the taste for them. Sometimes, dispense with floatant to use a bit of spittle to 'drown' your gnat in the surface film.
