Off on my annual May pilgrimage to the derbyshire wye in two weeks time (14th - 16th may).
2 days on the haddon estate, finished off with a day on cressbrook.
I've got the usual stuff tied up that has worked in the past ... olive duns, sherry spinners, griffiths gnat, hawthornes and some foam mayflies.
Also tied up some stuff from richards site Dry Fly 'Expert' - cotton's black and hairwing mayfly.

I know there's a bunch of river wye frequenters on here, so was wondering if any of you guys have any recommendations for flies to be carrying ?

Glen Pointon's LTD sedge, a twilight fish magnet

As falsecast points out, only a sedge pattern you are missing.

Some little flies...

18 and 20 Grey Duster, Sturdy's Fancy.

Watch what is happening all the time. I had to change tactics and flies three times a day over the weekend.
