Glyn's Mini-Fry


 This simple little fly from Glyn Hopper is a good choice for trout feeding on small fry. Although it works all year, it generally comes into its own a few weeks after the tiny pin-fry start showing up, but before they get up to finger size near the end of the season. It's well worth its place in the loch style fisher's box whether for fishing wild hill lochs, lowland lakes or reservoirs. It has even reportedly taken seatrout in the salt.

Materials list Hook: Kamasan B175 size 10 Thread: Red Uni 8/0 Tail: Natural rabbit fur Rib: Silver wire Body: Silver holographic tinsel Wing: White rabbit fur topped with olive rabbit fur Cheek: Silver holographic

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.
