{{+1}}Wedge sedge{{-1}}
{{start}}
This is just the simplest imitation of a snow flake caddis laying on the surface of the water. The shape is right and it floats well.{{end}}

{{+1}}Jiggy head{{-1}}
{{start}}
Jiggy heads are similar to bead heads except they are designed for salt water use and they have an obvious fish head shape and have a recessed area on each side incorporated to accommodate stick on holographic eyes. They are also covered with epoxy once the fly is tied. They were designed by Bob Popovics for use on flies that are fished deep in a jig fashion for pelagic fish.{{end}}
{{+1}}Straggle fritz booby{{-1}}
{{start}}
One of the best search flies in slow moving or still deeper water using a sinking line. If fishing from a fixed position cast it out, let the line sink to the desired depth, and then retrieve the line using a constant stripping motion, a pumping retrieve or a combination of both.{{end}}

{{+1}}Straggle fritz bugger{{-1}}
{{start}}
'I switched to a slime line and put a Black Straggle Fritz Taddy on the point, kept the Damsel on the dropper and, due to the weed, discarded the top dropper completely. At the end of one retrieve I had a cracking take on the hang and bullied a near 5lb rainbow into the net.'{{end}}
{{+1}}Stone fly{{-1}}
{{start}}
Stoneflies thrive in the rubble of cold well oxygenated rivers & streams. They are an available food source throughout the season and fish may feed on them to the exclusion of all other food sources particularly during hatches. The nymphs crawl along the bottom and exit the water at the stream or river edge where they hatch into stoneflies.{{end}}
{{+1}}Fuzzel Katie – Kate McLaren variant{{-1}}
{{start}}
I particularly find the yellow version useful when yellow winged hoppers or other insects with yellow parts are on the trouts menu. At other times pink is a great trigger color and when combined with the flash of the holographic tinsel and or the movement of the fuzzeled body and the soft front hackle are often enough to trigger a response.{{end}}

{{+1}}Kate McLaren variant – fuzzel Katie{{-1}}
{{start}}
Seldom, at least in my case, fished alone this fly is a great top dropper or bob fly when lock style fly fishing. I particularly find it useful when yellow winged hoppers or other insects with yellow parts are on the trouts menu. It looks nothing like a hopper of course but I think the little bit of yellow in the tail as well as the movement of the fuzzeled body and the soft front hackle are often enough to trigger a response.{{end}}
{{+1}}Green Peter – daddy variant{{-1}}
{{start}}
As many of you will be aware there is a Welsh fly called a "Green Peter". It was designed as a dry fly but is also a great Loch Style bob or middle dropper fly.{{end}}
{{+1}}Invicta variant{{-1}}
{{start}}
The original Invicta was created by eminent English fly tier and tackle dealer James Ogden in the 1870's. With just a few tweaks this fly is as relevant today as it was 140 odd years ago. This is a great attractor fly at times when yellow winged hoppers and other insects with yellow body parts are around and yellow is a trigger color for trout.{{end}}
{{+1}}Bead head stick caddis{{-1}}
{{start}}
This is the lava of a Caddis fly (or Sedge) and is common from September through to December particularly in the flooded margins of lakes. The bead head version has been designed to be fished as an anchor fly when loch style fly fishing or as an anchor fly when fishing rivers.{{end}}
