{{+1}}Bibio blob{{-1}}
{{start}}
One of my favourite flies for waters where there is midge activity is the bibio and when I am fishing those waters most of the time I have a bibio on the top dropper. This blob is fast becoming a go to alternative to a bibio for me.{{end}}

{{+1}}Tequila blob{{-1}}
{{start}}
It took me some time to get into using blobs but these days there are plenty of trout waters where I include a blob in my team most of the time. This is one of my favourites blob flies particularly when the waters have a good population of rainbow trout.{{end}}
{{+1}}Christmas Island special{{-1}}
{{start}}
With just these seven colour each tied in two sizes and a couple of weights you will be ready for some fantastic bonefish sessions on the flats. Christmas Island Special in: Pink, Pearl, Orange – rich, Orange - light, Violet, Chartreuse & Yellow.{{end}}
{{+1}}Chatto’s flats minnow{{-1}}
{{start}}
This is a fly that I developed specifically for sight fishing on the flats to the likes of bream, flathead, bonefish and permit. It's a very fishy looking fly and has a little blood spot that adds to the appearance of the fly being a wounded fish.{{end}}
{{+1}}Rubber legged olive gotcha{{-1}}
{{start}}
This is a popular rubber tailed Gotcha type fly which is very similar to other peoples ties. It has it's place in your bonefish fly box for those occasions where the bones shy away from the bright colours of most other bone fish flies.{{end}}
{{+1}}Aitutaki secret{{-1}}
{{start}}
This is a popular rubber tailed Gotcha type fly designed by Christopher Hall, an Aitutaki regular for targeting big bonefish.{{end}}
{{+1}}Rubber legged gotcha – orange & pearl{{-1}}
{{start}}
If your heading off on a fishing trip the gotcha fly in a few colour combinations and a couple of sizes should definitely be included in you fly box. I was looking at the Fulling Mills bonefish flies and one of them was predominately orange with a pearl body ... this is my version of that combination. It doesn't matter if it's fresh or salt water orange is one of those trigger colours for fish.{{end}}
{{+1}}Rubber legged gotcha – Etu inspired{{-1}}
{{start}}
The story line was that the bonefish had refused every fly they had offered the day before so for the next days outing Etu tied this fly on the beach and then they walked straight into the water and immediately hooked a fish ... gee it must be a good fly. Anyway I do like it because Aitutaki bonefish do seem to like flies that incorporate a yellow component.{{end}}
{{+1}}Red TBH CDC black fuzzel jig bugger{{-1}}
{{start}}
This fly is one of a series of 4 woolly bugger flies that I tie specifically for river fishing and if I only had one woolly bugger in my river fishing fly box this would be the one.{{end}}
{{+1}}Silver TBH CDC black sparkle fuzzel bugger{{-1}}
{{start}}
This one of the 4 colours of TBH jig buggers that I carry in my river fly box. It's a great buggy looking fly that sink well and swims hook point up so less likely to get hooked up on the bottom othan flies that swim hook point down.{{end}}
