Morning,

We have two NEW flies for you today - one has Swedish origins (thanks to good friend Niklas for putting me onto it) and the other is absolutely DEADLY on both Stillwaters and Rivers at this time of year - you'll have to read right to the end of this email to find out what it is!

Following along the line of "flies which are successful and work almost everywhere", today we're launching a pattern which is gaining notoriety on both Rivers and Stillwaters - especially in the late Autumn hatches:

You may never have heard of it - most anglers who use it want to keep it a secret!

I've been road-testing the above Swedish-inspired pattern since this time last year, and it's performed flawlessly - it's especially good for imitating those late (and early season insect hatches) on both Rivers & Stillwaters.

This is a simple, yet deadly pattern - I believe this pattern is so successful because of the way it's tied, very, very sparsely.

This pattern has its origins in Sweden and has been a staple in my own fly box since last September - someone has to test the flies out!

Originally only available as a kit (which we regularly sell out of over on our Feathersmith site), I'm constantly asked for the 'pre-tied' version - so we're launching it today.

"What's the fly called?"

Introducing ... The Dynamite Harry

The Dynamite Harry - is a very versatile pattern you should have in your fly box because it's one pattern that can be fished all season long and is a great 'general impression' of a whole host of up-winged insects found on the water from April through to October (except a Mayfly)!

This little gem of a fly has its origins in the dark forests of Dalarna in Sweden.

The fly is kind of an "all-around" fly, depending on the size you use - we have them from a size 12, right down to a size 18 - it can mimic most winged critters from small midges to emergers and duns. The key to this pattern is to get a very light fly with a delicate footprint.

The fly has gone from being a secret in the originator, Jörgen Danielsson´s flybox, to a fly which adorns many fly anglers' boxes in Sweden and beyond. This version of the Barbless Dynamite Harry has been tied with instructions from Mr Danielsson himself - and he has even given the finished fly his seal of approval.

Please Note: These Dynamite Harry flies have been tied with an extra-long tail. Some anglers prefer the tails long, whilst others prefer the tails very short and tight to the hackle - we've had them tied this way, so you can shorten the tail with a pair of sharp scissors if you so wish.

Top Tip: If you are cutting the tails to size, cut them at a 45-degree angle sloping upwards - it seems to help the presentation on the water.

As well as being a great fly to use throughout the summer months, it also has the added bonus of being pretty attractive to early-season Grayling!

*** Go on, treat yourself - you know you want to - at only £20 for the selection, these will not hang around for long! ***

The 'NEW' DEADLY Daddy

Generally seen from August through to October, Crane flies hatch in the ground on cool humid mornings. It pays to fish these when the wind is blowing, the Daddy Long Legs is not good at flying and are always blown onto the water.

The legs (and green hot-spot on the tail) on these flies (as seen below) seem to act as a trigger to the fish - especially when twitched.

These Deadly Daddies are tied on a Size 14 barbless hook (a much more accurate representation of the real insect) with a slender hackle and swept-back legs (to make the fly more aerodynamic), which still allows them to cast easily (without line twist) and create a wake on the surface when any action is imparted to them, again, another trigger point the fish home into.

Our Deadly Daddy is a twist on the classic Daddy Long Legs pattern and is the most successful daddy long-legs pattern we've ever sold - these are the last we will have until August next year!

We've just received our last batch of Deadly Daddies for the year, and now have them available for immediate delivery either individually (£2.15), in packs of 6 (£11) or in packs of 12 (only £20).

As always, all of our flies are delivered FREE of charge to anywhere within the UK (which can take up to 5 working days) - we also have a 1st Class Tracked Service (for only £2.50) which is usually delivered the very next day, so long as you can order before 1pm.
