Mayflies are of course the hot product at the moment for another month we will see a mass of feeding frenzie as the mayflies hatch and die within such a fast time the fish are striking at anything landing on the water with a resemblence of one of their favorite foods.

Remember the trout will take the humpy and wulff fly throughout this period and they can be a little more robust. With this in mind you will find 12 humpys in a pack on special offer for one month only at just £3.25. You can find them here:

Humpys Special Offer

We have added to the Comp - Lite boxes Range from Richard Wheatley this week, they are a superb fly box and at a price in line with other suppliers but still incorporating the excellence of the Wheatley name, if you have not seen them check them out.

Look out for the new pheasant tail hotheads coming soon

Just a quick note to advise we have put a considerable amount of flies on special offer. As you know our prices are fantastic to start with so these offers really are a good bargain. We have put them in batches of 12 and 6 within their own section

We will have a minimal service available throughout the holiday period and if you require an urgent order I would recommend you ring us to see if it is possible. Our last dispatch prior to Christmas will be Wednesday the 23rd December although Royal Mail are recommending last posting day as the 21st December

Now in stock the Damsel with the blue flash, tied on a goldhead great for winter fishing

Winter or cold weather fly fishing is generally done on weighted flies or a sub surface flies. Nymphs and wets presented in this manner will probably get the best results. Weighted nymphs and wets can get down pretty fast if you need to fish at a deep level. Weights can also be added to your line if the flies are tied without beadheads or wire for weight This is not to say that dry flies will not come in useful as you will sometimes see some surface activity. Keep your eyes open to what is going on around you and be prepared to swap flies and do not be despondent if the fly you caught 6 with last weekend is not working today!

Weighted lures especially in the goldheads are a popular fly throughout the winter months, our selection is quite vast and I would suggest you take quite a few different colours if this is your chosen method. Gold head trout flies can be fished on any line, from a full floater to the fastest of sinkers.

Just a quick note to advise the new colours from Uni Thread on the pre wax 6/0 and 8/0 are now available. These include Iron Grey, Rust Dun,Green, Pink and FL Orange on the 8/0 and Royal Blue, Doctoe Blue and Camel on the 6/0
This means we now hold every colour available on this tying thread.
Sili Legs are also now in stock, with a good colour selection.

Important Delivery Information

The first round of industrial action by the members of The Communication Workers Union has now finished, this has caused some delays to parcels dispatched during the week commencing Monday 19th October. We are dispatching orders as quickly as possible in order to get them into the postal system to minimise delays.

A further strike is due to start on Thursday 29th October through to and including Saturday 31st October, this will affect the collection, processing and delivery of mail on these 3 days and for a period of time afterwards. Please bear in mind when ordering that there may be a delay in you receiving your order and allow extra time for delivery.

Please note we have been adding a lot more variety selections on all the different types of flies, these are very popular for speed purchasing. I know a lot of you prefer to pick each individual fly but have a look at the batches we have put together, we think you will like them.

The blog page we promised is now live from the main site and I am trying to get fishing venues listed from around the country as well as fly fishing clubs and associations. We are run off our feet at the moment keeping you all supplied with flies so please bare with me as time on the blog is limited at the moment. Hopefully when winter lands and things quieten a bit I will be able to get plenty of useful information on there. One of the items I have been discussing recently with a new starter to fly fishing is a calendar of flies in a format useful for choosing your fly for the month and conditions etc. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

If you have any stories, photos or information you would like to add just drop me an email and I will get it on the site for you. Don’t be shy! Every fisherman loves to brag!!  There is also an area on their for you to leave your comments, If your happy with our service and can spare a minute to tell us... we really appreciate it.
