{{+1}}TBH fuzzy wuzzy{{-1}}
{{start}}
If you went back just a few years and you a asked an average fly fisher to name his for her favorite fly chances are it would be an unweighted, or lightly weighted probably with a few turns of lead wire, Fuzzy Wuzzy. The traditional Fuzzy Wuzzy has always been useful as a river and lake fly leading up to, through and just after the spawning season. This fly just extends the application of the standard Fuzzy Wuzzy an little further and the simple addition of the tungsten bead head makes it easier to get this fly down and bumping along the bottom where the fish are.{{end}}

Perhaps the best known Para Dun Emerger is the Parachute Adams. It was derived form the Adams Irresistible and whilst the Irresistible sits high on the surface film the parachute version sits comfortably in the film making it a very useful emerger pattern.{{end}}

{{+1}}Hot spot yabby bugger – Chatto’s original{{-1}}
{{start}}
Large populations of dark olive Yabbies of the Cherax Genus have developed in both Lake Jindabyne and Lake Eucumbene and many other places. Many anglers suggest that the Yabby has been responsible for changing the feeding habits of trout in the lakes as the populations of Yabbies have increased. In fact in both Lake Jindabyne and Lake Eucumbene you seldom catch a trout with a full stomach when the contents doesn't include yabbies.{{end}}
{{+1}}TBH collared hare and copper{{-1}}
{{start}}
A very effective fly yet perhaps the simplest of bead heads to tie. With elements of the hare and copper and an Adams fly in the dressing its logical that its default name became "hare and adams".{{end}}

Jeremy Lucas was our river coach leading up to the 2012 World Fly Fishing Championships and was very keen on thinner flies for this early season competition. I think its a great interpretation of a classic fly and commend it for your consideration.{{end}}

I was introduced to this fly at the 2012 World Fly Fishing Championships during the training sessions by our guide Marko Gradnik. This was his "go to" fly for all the river sectors of the competition and produced fish for all the Australian World team members.{{end}}

{{+1}}Tiger bibio{{-1}}
{{start}}
This combination of my Bibio variant and Peter Walsh's tiger midge. Fish it in the same way as you would fish a bibio ... often it will come up trumps.{{end}}

Unfortunately for the midge it's not only swallows that have them on their menu it's also carnivorous damsel nymphs and then of course further up the food chain trout.{{end}}
{{+1}}Brown pink hot head bugger{{-1}}
{{start}}
You can of course tie a hot head on any fly and from time to time when I am tying flies I add hot thread head to a couple of flies just to ensure that I have some options in my fly boxes. This fly takes the hot head concept to the next step and includes a bigger than average thread head which is a significant feature of the fly.{{end}}

I generally only tie it in two versions the fly described below and a brown and pink version. Particularly if the water is a little discoloured I find these flies work well either as middle dropper attractor flies or as my top dropper bob fly but from time to time also fish them on the point particularly if fish are switched onto small flies.{{end}}
