Just wondering as im a fairly new angler, i was fishing today and got 3 with the pheasent tail mympth. What if the best fly for this time of year and the next month or two. Any help appreciated forgot to mention its trout fishing in a loch

the good old pheasant tail nymph , takes fish all year round and essential to anyones box i would think .

the daddies are out just now and the fish will be starting to feed on the fry very soon if not already preparing for winter , and i think this is one of the most exciting times to fish for trout as their aggression goes way up when they are on the fry.

sorry i took it u were fishing still waters but if its rivers im sure i could help a little as could many others, depending on were u fish.

Hi Delboy i am also new are you fishing rivers or stillwaters?
Stillwaters i would be fishing buzzers, sedges,and small black dries. But im only a novice im sure the more experienced anglers will give you good pointers.

im fishing still waters at a place golden loch in fife

if you go to their site and read up on the reports for this month it will help u out im sure as bibios and dilwa bachs are doing the buisness and as abdul says anything black will work at this time also.

Sounds like the PTN is the best fly to use right now but get some fry patterns and get ready for the fry-bashers through October.

how do you normally fish frys i have seen floating and the ones that look like fish, sorry if i sound like a right novice lol

Im hoping somebody can answer this question too

Foam backed daddies like the ones on the cover of this months Trout Fisherman for the surface.

Big eyed minkie patterns for underneath.

My recommendation at least, ck.

speaking of fry whats best for imitating

as ive always though baby doll's were good for when the fry start to appear or am i totally wrong ?
