We all know that fishing in the first few weeks of the river season can be tricky - it's always best to approach any venture to the river before Easter with as much information as possible and the right flies.
This is the reason for this email - equipping you with both info and flies - take a look below at some nymphs which are as good a bet as any at this time of year and further below on some 'Early Season' tips.
As the season is now underway on most of our waters in the UK, we would like to thank you for your continued support and keeping subscribed to our emails with an offer, especially for you (this will not be advertised elsewhere).
How about a discount on flies you actually need (and are really successful) right now.
Over the last couple of weeks, we've had quite a few deliveries of flies - we're gearing up, ready for the new river season to start - it's only a few weeks away now! Here are a couple of our most popular early-season nymphs which are now back in stock again ... fill your boots.
Welcome to the run-up to the Trout Season. Here at Barbless Flies HQ we are eagerly waiting on the season to start - 1st April in Yorkshire, but we're being kept busy with loads of new flies to organise and photograph. There’s great excitement this month with the beginning of the trout season on most UK rivers. However, don’t get too excited, as normally the season starts off very slowly with most of the action below the surface. Take a look towards the end of this email for some early season hints & tips.
Over the next few weeks, we will be bringing you some tried and tested fly selections, specifically for early season trout fishing. Helping you to get a start with curating your early season fly boxes. We thought we would start off with one of the most popular selections we have available: The Early Season Selection

We've something for all of you intermittent Stillwater anglers this week. With the majority of the UK rivers now nearing the close - until March, the Stillwaters will be more popular with anglers wanting their fishing fix. We are in a pretty fortunate position as a fly supplier - we get to see the trends of which flies are popular at all times of the year. I noticed a big uptick in the below Stillwater flies over the last week - we also received lots of feedback from customers saying they are working really well, so I thought I would dedicate this week's email to flies from the 'Dark Side'. There are certain flies, which in some quarters are very much frowned upon. It is not our place to judge anyone, and as far as we are concerned, so long as the fishery allows it, it's fair game. These flies seem to be unpopular with the ‘stillwater purists’ but they undoubtedly work really well in certain situations. Here we aim to give you an idea of what these flies are and how to use them.
As we start to look forward to the opening of the river season - I know it's a few weeks away yet, but bear with us - to have any success when targeting those early season fish usually means one technique is king - nymphing.
