Angling Challenges for 2024
I’ve set myself a few goals for this year’s fishing season, some more difficult than others, but all quite challenging.
-
The Buggy Rabbit
The Buggy Rabbit is so-named as it’s tied with Rabbit fur and is a very Buggy fly.
-
Fly Fishing for Chub
For me, fly-fishing is the most rewarding way to catch Chub on small rivers and streams, here’s how I do it.
-
Shiny Caddis Larva
This Shiny Caddis Larva is more of an attractor style nymph and is probably not taken as a caddis but as an interesting looking snack.
-
Purple Butt Pheasant Tail
The Purple Butt Pheasant Tail is a nymph tied to attract Barbel and Chub in faster water.
-
The Sudden Take Nymph
The Sudden Take Nymph is inspired by the Guide’s Choice hare’s ear nymph.
-
Yellow Deer Hair Caddis
This Yellow Deer Hair Caddis dry fly is tied large to attract our Chub and is particularly effective in Spring, Summer and Autumn.
-
Clive’s Caddis
This is a simple Caddis Larva pattern using just micro-chenille, peacock herl and 70d olive thread.
-
Guinea Fowl & Partridge
This is an interesting nymph pattern sporting two hackles – one at the tail (Guinea Fowl) and the other at the head (partridge).
-
Pheasant Tail R’n’B
The Pheasant Tail R’n’B is a fairly standard, weighted PT nymph but with a thorax tied with red and black PT fibers.
-
Pheasant & Peacock Maggot
Another in the maggot nymph series, the Pheasant and Peacock keeps the simplicity theme going while remaining a tempting morsel for our Chub.
-
Purple And Peacock Maggot
Tied with the Radbuza Chub in mind but can be effective for any of our river species.
