    • Fly of the Month: December 2024
      • Bead Head Hare & Copper Nymph 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. A perfect starting place for anyone thinking about giving flytying a go. […]

    • Fly of the Month: November 2024
      • 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: October 2024
      • 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 2024
      • Royal Wulff The Royal Wulff is a must have in any fly box, especially deadly on Rainbows who find it hard to resist. Originated by master angler Lee Wulff around 1930 to imitate a beetle, it has stood the test of time virtually unchanged ever since. It can be used almost anywhere. Hook TMC 9300 […]

    • Fly of the Month: August 2024
      • Red Setter With winter fishing fast approaching and with downstream lure fishing showing a resurgence, especially in the Turangi/Taupo area, the Red Setter is a “must have” fly. This is another easy to tie essential pattern. Created in the 1940’s by Geoff Sanderson of Turangi, this pattern is still a great fish catcher. Popular with […]

    • Fly of the Month: July 2024

    • 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 – […]

      • Hare & Copper Nymph (Gold or Black Bead) This is arguably New Zealand’s Greatest contribution to fly design.

    • 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.

    • 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 […]
