filling up the nymph box

The last few nights Ive been stocking up my much depleted  nymph box with some simple patterns, some for the trout season ahead, but mostly bugs with Grayling in mind.


the ever reliable glister bug for our local burns


olive ribbed with chartreuse magic glass


wire nymphs with pink tungsten in various sizes, ive also tied a load of copper beaded ones for the trout season.


hares ear heavy weights to get down to where it matters


fluff on a hook, egg flies took some big grayling for us last year.


two or three wee black wire patterns for midge feeders


various forms of the pink shrimp


the weathers looking settled for a change so fingers crossed they might be put into action this weekend with any luck.
