    • Fly of the Month: April 2024
      • Glow Bugs Probably the most effective cold water winter fly pattern. The Glo-Bug has proved itself for over 60 years now.Originating in California this easily tied pattern is successful wherever trout are. In fast, slow or still water this fly will attract pre-spawning and other trout when standard natural patterns are less interesting. Hook TMC […]

    • Fly of the Month: March 2024
      • Flash Back Pheasant Tail Nymph There are numerous variations of this pattern. The Pheasant Tail nymph is one of the most useful nymph patterns. Rainbows and Browns love them because the nymph imitates a wide range of naturals. Mayflies, caddis, midges and damsel flies are all suggested by this pattern. Hook Kamisan B175 #12 & […]

    • Fly of the Month: February 2024
      • Parachute Adams A simple, easy to tie yet effective dry fly. Very useful as summer progresses. Many trout at this time ignore high floating dries, preferring insects trapped in the surface film. Snipping the hackle at the bottom of a standard dry can also achieve a lower-floating dry fly. Hook TMC 9300 size #12 – […]

    • Fly of the Month: December 2023
      • Cicada To see a large trout emerge from the depths of a big deep pool, in fast water and take a large dry fly off the surface is one of the greatest joys of summer fishing. The cicada and other terrestrial patterns are designed to do just that. Extra buoyancy can be achieved with foam. […]

    • Fly of the Month: November 2023
      • Damsel Fly Damsel flies are a still water species. When conditions are right damsels can be everywhere and yet few damsel flies are found in fishermen’s fly boxes. Can be fished either as a nymph or as a dry fly. Tail Green Marabou Ribbing Copper / Silver Wire Body Green or brown marabou dubbing Wing […]

    • Fly of the Month: October 2023
      • Lunker Buster In the early days of my competitive fishing, I received great support from Roy Cotter, from Pahiatua, who not only assisted in suggesting suitable competition venues on the Manawatu River but supplied me with a number of flies. These included a pattern which he had developed himself which he had aptly named the […]

    • Fly of the Month: September 2023
      • Hare & Copper Nymph (Gold or Black Bead) This is arguably New Zealand’s Greatest contribution to fly design. It is the easiest pattern to tie in its most simple form yet it is one of the most effective nymph designs. Tied “in the round” so it looks the same no matter how it is drifting. […]

    • Fly of the Month: August 2023
      • Woolly Bugger – Green (Olive) Has become a very well performing lure especially for the Taupo rivers and lakes. Can be used with or without a bead and what you are trying to imitate. A small green woolly bugger fished slowly in the lake margins without a heavy bead is excellent as a damsel nymph […]

    • Fly of the Month: July 2023
      • Craig’s Night-Time Developed around Lake Taupo in the 1930’s to suggest the koura (freshwater crayfish) this pattern is still an outstanding trout catcher. The short tail (or tag) accounts for many fish that might be lost through nipping at the tail of a traditional pattern. This is a very easy to tie pattern and should […]

    • Fly of the Month: June 2023
      • Orange Rabbit Some lures are essential for the central Plateau. Along with Red Setter, Craig’s Night-time, Smelt, Woolly Bugger and floating Glo-Bug – the Orange Rabbit completes the basic selection. An easy to tie pattern that works particularly well in Taupo’s rivers. Hook TMC 5262 size #2 – #10 Thread Black Mono Tail Orange hackle […]
