The Barbless Dry Selection, is a selection of 4 styles of commonly used dry flies, we are supplying 4 different styles of dry flies. In total there are 20 flies supplied in our eco-friendly packaging. These flies are great all year round flies, and work especially well for those tricky early season trout and for taking grayling in September/October.
Descriptions and images of the flies can be found below (should you want to buy the flies individually, please click on the fly titles):
Indicator Caddis. A very versatile pattern, great fished as a single dry fly on a dead drift or as the dry in a duo/New Zealand set up, which has exceptional buoyancy and will suspend even the heaviest of nymphs. Selection contains two each of sizes 14, 16 and 18.
Elk Hair Caddis. A sedge (or caddis) imitation. I have found this pattern to bring up even the most timid of fish when dead drifted through a pool. This selection contains two of each sizes 16 and18.
Kite's Imperial. First devised in 1962 by the late Oliver Kite to imitate the Large Dark Olives which were hatching on the River Teifi. He used this pattern all season long whenever any olives were hatching, it didn't matter if they were large, small, light, dark, Pale Wateries or Iron Blues. Rather than changing the pattern, Oliver only changed the size of the fly. Selection contains two each of sizes 14 & 16.
CDC Olive Emerger. An excellent emerger pattern, with a CDC wing. This pattern is ideal to imitate the change from nymph to dun. Selection contains two each of sizes 16 & 18.
The above price includes 18 hand-tied flies supplied in our eco-friendly packaging.
