Hi Guys,

I'm a real novice to fly fishing although I have coarse fished for a lifetime.
I am about to venture out on my first session on Saturday to a reservoir in Northamptonshire were I will be bank fishing. My thoughts are to try Buzzers, Nymphs and Shrimps but I am a little confused as to the lines to use. For the shrimps and nymph fishing I plan to use an intermediate line to let the flies get down however for the buzzer fishing a floating line to try to catch just below the surface due to the recent warm weather. Am I on the right line ?
Your comments would be much appreciated. also has anyone a tip for threading the flyline into a braided loop ! I cant get the bloody things started.

Thanks in advance Guys.

Know the feeling m8. Just as confused! but we are at the best site to get some good tips. Good luck!

Which reservoir Derek ?

I would tend to go for a black/green or white/green lure, slowish retrieve for early season bank fishing. Floater, sink tip or intermediate.

Nymphs may work but more chance of that as the water warms up a bit. I sometimes start on lures and switch to nymphs later in the day this time of year.
