Can these flys be used on still waters or are they for rivers only? Im new to this and any advice would be appreciated.

thanx

Ive seen and herd of klinks being used to great effect on still water although you do here of them more on the rivers

Cheers for the advice. Im heading out in a few hours so il maybe give then a try.

I use them on stillwater virtually right through the whole season mate.Trout very often prefer a fly under the film rather than a high floating one.When prospecting with dries my usual m.o is to offer the fish a choice of two different profiles, e.g a klink for hanging under and say a bits or a shippy to lie flat on top.The fish will let you know what they prefer on the day.
Klinks are particularly good at imitating emerging buzzers .

Went to park view one afternoon and asked two guys how it was fishing,both said very hard a few fish rising but only one been caught,tried a size 20 olive klink and had seven fish in half an hour ,does that answer your question

Klinkhamers, shuttlecocks, Deerhair emergers, Dirty dusters, dirty pollies, suspender buzzers, they're all pretty much variants of the same idea ; a curved, insecty - looking body suspended from the surface film.
And, boy, don't the trout go for that!
The body of the fly is ,I think, what the fish are going for, the rest of the dressing being primarily for the benefit of the angler.(visibility and flotation)
This style of fly is the mainstay of my fishing.

Only just started using them on my local still-water. In three short sessions I've already taken 8 fish on a size 14 orange Klinkhammer, whilst those around me have struggled they've quickly become a firm favourite in my fly-box.

I only started fishing in April and had my best day with a Klink on still water 7 in total after 5 hours

I use klinkhammers regularly on still waters and i catch droves of fish with them. Usually use black or green ones and fish them on a very slow retrieve.

My mate now uses them for competition stillwater fishing and is having lots of success with them

sound advice guys, many thanks.
