{{+1}}Lakes – loch style … static and slow retrieve fly fishing{{-1}}
{{start}}
The technique is best fished from a boat but of course can be fish from the bank , and in both case you need to shorten or lengthen your distances depending on water depths.{{end}}

{{+1}}Willow grub{{-1}}
{{start}}
"Willow grubs" as they have become known, are often blown off the tree by the wind or simply fall off often finding themselves on the surface of the water where they are gorged on trout generally at the exclusion of all other passing tucker.{{end}}
{{+1}}Fly lines that I use – #6 trout in lakes{{-1}}
{{start}}
I select the best fly lines that I can for particular situations and have set up my gear so that I can relatively easily take one fly line off and replace it with another, during a fishing session, so as to achieve my goals. This process has left me with the following five 'go to' 6 weight fly lines in my lake kit to cover all my lake based trout fishing options:{{end}}
{{+1}}Scud{{-1}}
{{start}}
I use this fly to represent not only Scuds but also Olive Caddis Pupa which are of course a completely different types of creature. Scuds are true crustaceans of the family Isopod or Amphipods and generally you find them in shallow water in the detritus matter and around weed beds and drowned vegetation.{{end}}

{{+1}}Royal Wulff{{-1}}
{{start}}
With origins in the 20's the Wulff is as much a style of fly as a fly in its own right. It is certainly one of the quintessential dry flies and in some shape or form you will find variants in most fly boxes. Whilst the originals were tied using elk hair tails and upright upright divided calf wings I lean toward variants that have buoyant deer hair tails and divided wings.{{end}}
{{+1}}Bloodworm – Chatto’s TBH marabou bloodworm{{-1}}
{{start}}
A streamlined fast sinking fly that will anchor your team ... the UV mirage tinsel is just a fine line along the spine but is enough to ensure that the fly is seen at darker depths.{{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}}Caddis (sedge){{-1}}
{{start}}
Caddis flies are also known as sedge because of their habit of clinging to sedge grass along the banks of rivers and impoundments . . . well at least in the UK the do. Caddis flies have four wings which, even though one set is slightly forward of the other , basically present as a v shape running back along the body of the fly. They don't have tails but they often have long antenna.{{end}}
