The flies are intended to be general emerger patterns for stillwaters, not representing anything specific. They can be fished from static, to being pulled across the top and anything between. Sizes I tend to tie are #14-#10. Colours are the same as most wet flies; Black / Claret early season, Browns, Oranges and Olives mid season and back to Blacks and Clarets late season, although as usual the trout don’t know the ‘rules’.

All the best - Steve
