I was browsing through some older fly-fishing books and found these patterns, they are now in an article on my web-site.
I have not been able to dress any yet, but the recipes might be of interest.

This didn't link to patterns??

Works for me, arjxh56 did you click on the ">" button at the bottom?

Thanks Donald, would be nice to see some photos of the flies. Have you fished any of them? How did you get on?

ah ha! . . yes, thanks for that :-)

Interesting.

My father in law is Dutch, and has just got interested in fishing the polders for coarse fish. He got hold of an c. 1930s Dutch book recommending patterns for the polders, and they are almost identical.

Even now, the favourite in his area seems to be red tags, or variants thereof.

Chaps,

It is not particularly about old school patterns but if you can get hold of a copy then I shall recommend you this:

I will agree with Pete the "fly fishing for coarse fish" by wj Howes is a great little book, and can still be found on ebay.
Another good book is the "observers book of fly fishing" This little book covers quite a bit of fly fishing for coarse fish as well.
I often try these older patterns of flies and it was only last week when I caught a roach on a red tag variant from a trout fishery! It is still a great fly'

I still haven't tied any of them yet. Trouble living in Scotland,
it is easier to go trout fishing, I'll try and dress them and show
them on the web-site.
They are recommended by Roger Woolley and John Turton,
can't get much better than that.
