Flys For Spring

fiestaman

Well guys, season wont be long coming around now for the trout. Anyone got any names of good flys for spring & summer. Wet flys & nymphs. I dont do much dry flys but if you recommend any il take them on board.

Early flies will include Gold Ribbed Hare's Ear, Pheasant Tail Nymph or any of the Czech Nymphs. A selection of these on your line will get you some fish.

All excellent flies listed above.

For stillwater use I'd add:
A black nymph. The Black and Peacock Spider.
A stick insect. One of: Worm Fly, or Dambuster, or Renegade.
A freshwater shrimp. Brown & green nymph, or leaded shrimp.

You won't go wrong with the above. On the off chance we get a mild March and the sun pops out you might get a large Dark olive on the River. Dry flies like the March brown/ Dark Olive might tempt a trout usually around Midday.

totally agree with all the above, if you do find large dark olives on the water, try a size 14 nymph of the following. Marble fiber dubbing in mud brown dubbed onto a B160 with a black tungsten bead of about two milimetres, its a dead ringer for the nymph. Other than that all of the above and a snipe and purple works well early in the season as does a lightly tied partridge and yellow. Tight lines.
