Tricky Situation

Churnobyl UV Tan

Great fly for supporting heavy dropper nymphs for that dry dropper combo. Available in four colours.

Woomfah Black

For those of you who have been fortunate enough to get into some good cicada fishing you will know how crucial it is to have a good pattern. The key to this pattern is the short shank wide gape...

Hare & Copper UV BTB

Hares fur blended with a small amount of copper flash. Can’t claim this one, it was first shown to me by legendary Poronui guide Ben Hall. Ben no longer guides but chooses to fly helicopters...

Flashback Pheasant Red

You cant have enough Pheasant Tail variants. This one has a Red flashback with an epoxy coating. For some reason trout love flies with a bit of red in them

Pole Position

For some unknown reason brown trout in particular seem to love this fly. It also work particulary well in really slow water when fish have a long time to inspect the fly

This one has a brown body. Pretty effective dry fly in its own right but with the added feature of a foam underwing it can float a size 12 or smaller tungsten bead nymph if a dropper is required

Cheeky Fella Olive

Kick over some stones on most rivers worldwide and you will see a bunch of small green nymphs wriggling about. Enough said

All Black

Turn over any rock on most rivers and there will be lots of small black stuff crawling around. Black flies are a critical component in any fly box. Tied on a Tiemco 2457 super strong curved nymph...

York Copper

This is the copper tungsten bead version. A firm favorite with trout worldwide

Gummers Carpet Caddis BTB

A generic jig caddis nymph pattern for lowland rivers or fast boisterous/boulder strewn waterways where caddis are in high numbers and or a larger profile pulls attention in fast water. Use the...

Magic May

This is its Gold tungsten bead variation. On its first outing I was guiding a young Australian Brett Haig. The fishing happened to be sensational and he asked me the name of the fly and at that...
