New fly fishing patterns introduced in 2017

We regularly take requests from our members for new patterns. Whilst some of these patterns are from our extensive library of flies, others are patterns which customers are struggling to get hold of elsewhere and yet others have been developed by fly fishermen who no longer wish to tie the fly themselves.

These new patterns often prove to be very popular, they may be unique, a variation of an existing pattern and some are even rare but we have realised that it is not always obvious they are now available. That is why we have decided to create a detailed list of new patterns which we have stocked for the very first time.

This is our previous year’s list of new patterns. You can view our current year so far. Unlike other retailers, we respond dynamically to your requests, so new patterns are gradually introduced throughout the year. Make sure you revisit regularly so that you don’t miss any gems! 

All patterns in this section are shown regardless of their status; some may have already sold out, but like all our flies, if you can't buy them now you can always request more to be made up!

Stimulators

If there's anything which gets fish excited, and secretly most fisherman, it's a well tied bushy stimulator. We love these two new patterns which we made up this year, both of which have jumped straight into our top seller list!

Winged Patterns

When you think of fly fishing patterns, winged flies tend to spring to mind and we are pleased to have added some fantastic patterns. We particularly love the Rat Faced McDougall, and the Green Peter / Invicta; but they are brand new patterns at time of writing, so please help us get these patterns up into our Top 10 chart this year!

Terrestrials, Caddis and Larva

We love the artistic aspect of fly fishing patterns, and the Trout Frog is one of those patterns that we are proud to produce. In the true fly fishing spirt of mimicking what's 'in, on and around' the water, a frog really captures this to its full degree, and we think this pattern is brilliant at looking the part!

Mayflies

Our Mayfly range extended again with some more stunning patterns. We especially love the new Drake Mayflies, and the Para was an immediate sell out.

Damsels

Mayflies don't hatch on every water, so if there are none about Damsels can take their place. We extended our range with some interesting and well-made patterns, so be sure to give them a go and let us know how you get on and what you think!

Daddies

In September 2017 we launched the successful Drunken Daddy range in time for some autumn fishing. We've had great feedback so far and think they will be a growing hit in future years as the word spreads.

Buzzers

These two new Buzzers are made in a style which we have never produced before. They make a great addition to our range of flies, so give them a try and let us know how they perform.
