Fly fishing, dry flies, rivers, mountains. Images and nostalgic fairy tales from the river and vice. @fulling_mill Signature Tyer and Pro Community.

It’s been a (YouTube) minute, but business is resu It’s been a (YouTube) minute, but business is resumed, and I’ve a great lineup of videos to come in readiness for the new season. Starting off with the fantastic X Caddis, it’s a simple, robust pattern when targeting rising trout feeding on surface-trapped prey items. Remember, keep it simple.

19 days. 19 days and I’ll hopefully be flipping th 19 days. 19 days and I’ll hopefully be flipping these at rising trout on small mountain streams…they’ll be just about the only waters that’ll be fishable by then. The Snowshoe Hare Emerger—with just two ingredients, this is the working man’s ‘get it done’ fly. Brutally efficient, matching everything and nothing, and incredibly hardy. When I need a hammer to get the job done, this is the pattern.

@fulling_mill's Eco Warrior dubbed body and thorax, a snowshoe rabbit foot wing from @flytyingedmadrigal, all lashed to a FM Czech Nymph wire. Rib optional, probably not even needed. Done. 19 days.

Packing done, and the journey to Stafford for the Packing done, and the journey to Stafford for the @british_fly_fair_international begins tomorrow. Doors open at 09:30 on Saturday morning, and I’m looking forward to tying and chatting all things dry flies, trout and rivers. If you’re planning to attend this year’s show, grab a coffee/beer and pop by my stand in Hall 3 to geek out over dry flies and fishing stories!

When those magical summer evenings of dun-covered When those magical summer evenings of dun-covered waters start, and visibility is needed to help identify our fly from the billions of naturals, sometimes a fluorescent-post paradun can help. It doesn’t mean a trout will actually choose your imitation over the others (that’s another challenge), but at least you’ll be able to spot your fly NOT being taken...

Tied on @fulling_mill's Ultimate Dry, with Coq de Leon tails and Whiting Genetic Dry Fly hackle, Fulling Mill’s Tactical Dry Fly dubbed body, their new and awesome CDC Dubbing thorax, and a bright as hell Parapost Yarn in Fluorescent Orange.

Only one week until the UK’s @british_fly_fair_international event (7th and 8th February). If you’re planning to attend, feel free to pop by my stand in Hall 3. I’d love to hear about your own fishing!

Simple fly, simple life. With just two ingredients Simple fly, simple life. With just two ingredients, this is one of my two go-to patterns - the Snowshoe Hare Emerger. When I need a little extra visibility in a fly pattern, I always gravitate to this. The pattern also sits perfectly, imitating a struggling emerger (of whatever species), is hella’ durable, and is super quick and easy to tie. @fulling_mill Eco Warrior dubbed body and thorax (trimmed at the body and picked out at the thorax), Snowshoe Rabbit foot wing, all bound onto a Fulling Mill Czech Nymph iron. When the world is crazy enough, let’s keep our fly choices simple.

Just two weeks to go until the UK’s @british_fly_fair_international event (7th and 8th February). If you’re planning to attend, feel free to pop by my stand in Hall 3. I’d love to hear about your own fishing!

Known as a ‘Small Fly Guy’, there are times when I Known as a ‘Small Fly Guy’, there are times when I need to go big. When fishing Danica imitations here in the UK, the guerilla warfare-esque smash-and-grab takes we sometimes see need a strong wire, and there ain’t much stronger than the @fulling_mill Tactical Big Bug.

Just three weeks until the UK’s @british_fly_fair_international event (7th and 8th February). If you’re planning to attend, feel free to pop by my stand in Hall 3. I’d love to hear about your own fishing!

Less than 4 weeks until @british_fly_fair_internat Less than 4 weeks until @british_fly_fair_international! Can't wait to catch up with old and new faces, and very much looking forward to nerding out over dry flies and trout! If you're attending, pop by for a chat/beer...I'll provide half of the chat if you provide the beer 😎

A micro, cripple midge tied on the @fulling_mill Tactical Midge (size 24 here), a super strong hook, more so considering its size!
