Diawl bach patterns have been used on the competition scene for many years and has now become a standard pattern for most anglers. As with all successful patterns the variations are endless. At the time I had been doing allot of competition fishing at Chew Valley in Somerset where Diawl back patterns and anorexic nymphs are fantastic when the fish are on naturals. This is one of the patterns that got me a place in the European finals that year. I have also found this pattern an excellent middle dropper pattern during early and late season or fished singularly with a slow retrieve. If there is allot of olives or damsels in your local fishery then the olive version cannot be beaten. This can be tied in a variety of body colours, the favorites being orange, olive, black and claret.
Tied on a size #10 sedge hook.

Black Straight Hook Buzzer Strout016

Price:£0.95

Please Select Quantity: 123456789

By tying your buzzers on larger hooks you get the advantage of fishing small flies and the hook strength of larger hooks. This trout fly is tied on a size #10 competition heavy hook giving the fly the weight to sink straight to the feeding zone. The breathers on the fly - antron body wool - also represent the nymphal shuck before the buzzer emergers. These are tied long to give the fly subtle extra movement which both emulates the naturals but also stimulates the trout into feeding. Fish this fly as you would all buzzers, very slo retrieve on a floating line.

This is a new Fly Tying Pattern and another one of those flies that is not only easy to tie but fantastic at catching trout. I came across this pattern a few years ago when I was doing allot of competition Trout Fly Fishing. In the afternoon on match days the fish tend to become very finicky after seeing so many blobs etc earlier in the day. Even if the fish where avidly feeding on buzzers ( midge Pupae ) it did not matter what you put in front of them they would not bite - however this pattern did the trick when all else had failed. You need to fish this fly on a floating line with the slightest of retrieve and ties in the smaller sizes to emulate the natural midge pupae. Don't underestimate this fly when Trout Fly Fishing, hold on to your rod, when trout hit this fly they hit it hard!
Due to its delicate dressing of the fine pearl rib the rib will come undone after a couple of fish, however its catch rate is worth this. Tied on a size #12 grub hook

Price:£1.10

Please Select Quantity: 123456789

This is one of the top secret competition patterns that we at Barracuda and Steve's Custom Flies can now show you. This pattern has won more matches when the fish are on naturals than other that I know of. Fished from Rutland to Chew valley this pattern has been the key to some major successes. This fly can be fished on any line and with any retrieve. However it comes really into its own when fished static and on the hang. Trout love it so ensure that all your knots are strong as when they hit this fly, they hit it very hard. Essentially the pattern represents buzzers hatching. Colour combinations are endless, and due to demand we now produce this version with the RED glo brite head. The key to tying the pattern is to make the dressing as thin as possible to emulate the naturals.Tied on a competition light size #10.
