Dark Needle


 The dark needle is a great pattern from Edmonds & Lee's "Brook and River Trouting" and has been catching fish since the 1800s. It's ideal toward the end of the season and is very effective when there are small stoneflies on the water.

Partridge & Yellow

  The light partridge and yellow really is a deadly North country spider. Despite its simplicity, this fly is a great taker of both trout and grayling and frankly, the partridge and yellow should be in every river angler's box.
