ade33uk 86 Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 it all depends what time of year and whats hatching and what the fish are feeding on , my favourite book is this one http://www.amazon.co.uk/Matching-Hatch-Stillwater-River-Stream/dp/1853108227/ref=pd_sim_b_2 learnt so much from it ..

J Darcy 5,871 Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 On the rivers I always use at least one dropper. The Black and Peacock or Partridge and Orange always has done well for me. On the point i can think of no finer fly than a Greenwell's Glory. I tie my own, and it sure is a good feeling knowing you have fooled the trout ona fly of your own making.... Quote Link to post
birdman6 10 Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 try hares ear nymph sz12/14 or a black woolly bugger sz10/12 with gold heads on them, they should work well at the start of the season. then once it starts getting warmer get the dry flies out and try to match the hatch. tight lines birdman6 Quote Link to post
