My travel/ backup fly fishing kit that will act as: A travel fishing kit that can stowed in my van or car to cover those situations when on the road we decide to have an un-programmed stop and a fishing opportunity presents itself. A backup when fishing from either of my boats or from other boats in fishing competitions{{end}}

{{+1}}Gartside gurgler{{-1}}
{{start}}
Fishing with a gurgler can be very exciting because you often see the fish behind the fly just before it strikes. With fairly subtle changes you can vary this fly to fit a wide range of surface fishing situations.{{end}}
{{+1}}Hares ear booby{{-1}}
{{start}}
This is a nifty little fly that merges the hares ear nymph and the traditional booby both very high pedigree flies into one very useful loch fly. It also has a bit of flash about it which helps the fly fill an important role in my fly box for an attractor fly to use on my middle dropper when I loch style fish fish just before, through and after the trout spawning season.{{end}}
{{+1}}BH olive damsel bugger{{-1}}
{{start}}
At different times of the year you will start to see swallows dipping on the water feeding on midge. This is the time to start thinking about fishing either damsel buggers or olive woolly buggers because unfortunately for the midge it's not only swallows that have them on their menu it's also carnivorous damsel nymphs. Damsel nymphs come in a range of colours ranging from dull browns through to light and dark olives.{{end}}
{{+1}}Mark II woolly bugger – alternate tie{{-1}}
{{start}}
The MK 2 woolly buggers evolved from standard black and olive woolly buggers as a fly that would imitate an American frog that had bright red between its hind legs and consequently the red tag is traditionally tied in below the tail. This tie is a little more popular than the original tie these days and is main point of difference is that the tag tied in on top.{{end}}
{{+1}}Gusto{{-1}}
{{start}}
This is a Peter Morse fly and a great variation on a Wooly Bugger that is making its mark in fresh water fly fishing. It's dressed on a wide gape hook that creates an effective "keel" effect and sports a relatively long marabou tail and a dense collar which together create plenty of currents around the fly that really get the marabou moving. It is adaptable for a range of species and situations.{{end}}
{{+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}}
{{+1}}Parachute adams{{-1}}
{{start}}
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}}Creamy smoked trout and bacon pasta{{-1}}
{{start}}
This one of those easy recipes that good to have in mind at any time but lend itself to comping trips.{{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}}
