{{+1}}Gartside gurgler{{-1}}

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}}

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}}Mud prawn – medium 7cm to 8cm long{{-1}}

In my experience that are very few fish, that we as fly fishers target, that will not readily eat a prawn or a shrimp. This fly is designed to not only to provide representation of a prawn or shrimp that is readily taken by fish but a fly that can be fished like a soft plastic or a faster moving fleeing prawn or shrimp and on top of that a fly that is durable and swims hook point up so that it's fairly snag resistant.{{end}}
{{+1}}Bass stimulator – Chatto’s tie{{-1}}
{{start}}
For a long time I simply sized up my trout stimulator and used them on bass unfortunately they just didn't offer bass a big enough morsel and even though they were bigger than anything I would use for trout they still landed too softly ... not announcing their presence to the bass. A while back I got round to addressing the problems and after a reasonable amount of experimentation came up with this version of a stimulator which ticks all the boxes.{{end}}
