You could try the following on #12 and #14 hooks:

River Fly Box, Tying the S Loop Nymph

and...

River Fly Box, tying the GRHE Nymph, gold rib hare's ear

Hope that helps

Arctic,

Sizes 12 or 14 are rather big for the Wharfe and Aire at this time of year but you could try them next winter if we have lots of water through the rivers.

Kind regards

Yes size 12 is a little big. I use sizes 16 and 18 and 20.

May be worth scaling down the bead size
