Trout Dry Flies

 A boxed selection of popular traditional dry flies

Boxed Dry Fly Selection

A boxed selection of Forty Traditional Trout Dry Flies from a well established Scottish supplier, tied in a range of sizes to the traditional patterns on Redditch hooks.

Now available in our  ONLINE FLY SHOP

Each Trout Dry Fly selection has been chosen to give a good range of  patterns in terms of representation, in the most practical sizes of 16, 14, 12 and 10,  for use throughout the season on stream or stillwater. 

Each selection of dry flies is presented in either a durable and practical plastic fly box or a traditional Richard Wheatley Silver Seal aluminium fly box.

Each set of forty trout dry flies, in the most useful sizes of 16 to 12, with a few larger sedges, has been selected from the following list of renowned traditional patterns to provide practical variety throughout the season, to enable the dry fly angler to match any likely hatch of insects on loch or stream.

No matter what fly might appear on the water, a suitable imitation should be found in this selection, whether it be a Greenwell's Glory or Rough Olive to imitate an early season hatch of large Dark Olives (Baetis rhodani); a March Brown for an appearance of March Browns (Rhithrogena germanica) in early Spring; a Medium Olive Dun or Gold Ribbed Hare's Ear for a hatch of Medium Olives (Baetis tenax); a Pale Watery Dun or Blue Quill for the Pale Watery (Baetis fuscatus); a Blue Winged Olive or Pheasant Tail in the event of a high summer hatch of Blue Winged Olives (Ephemeralla ignita); a Blue Dun or Olive Quill to represent the Olive Upright (Rhithrogena semicolorata); a Black Gnat or Black Spider for a mid-summer swarm of Black Gnats (Bibio johannis); a Coch y Bonddu as a beetle imitation; or a Silver, Brown or Cinnamon Sedge for those long summer evenings on river or loch.
