One of the things that many fly anglers puzzle about is what flies to use; whether it is on the River Usk, River Monnow or any other river; or, for that matter, which flies are working at a certain lake. So I have decided to focus this months blog page on exactly that subject.

With the thought of Mayfly fishing on the minds of many fly fisherman, you would think it the obvious place to start, but its not really as these don’t put in an appearance until the latter half of the month.
Until then the trout have all sorts of insects on the menu and we, as practitioners of the art of fly fishing, have all sorts of interesting imitations to cast upon the water. So this month I am going to divide the blog entries into rivers rather than date. I will try to give a link to “Step by Step tying instructions” for each fly I use or mention.
