The Sand Gnat
Hook: Size 0 (Partridge SUD2 size 14) Body: Slaty-coloured blue silk, dubbed sparingly with Water-rat’s down. Wings: Wings and Legs dressed hacklewise, with a feather from the outside of a Woodcock’s wing, near the butt -not too dark.
This fly is mentioned in a fishing article by Max Walbran in the Fishing Gazette of April 1885.
“This fly is only met with on certain rivers, where long beds of sand and gravel run down to the water’s edge. On Warm, sunny days such places may often be seen covered with this fly.” Max Walbran

Some north country spiders dressed by noted salmon

Some north country spiders dressed by noted salmon angler and writer Len Stott in 1952. Stott contributed many articles to magazines such as Trout and Salmon, The Field, and The Angler. Stott was a friend of such notables as Reg Righyni, Arthur Oglesby, Tommy Edwards and Eric Horsfall Turner and also a member of the Appletreewick, Barden and Burnsall Angling Club where he occasionally fished with my dad in between their trips to Scotland for the often illusive salmon. #flyfishing #northcountryspiders #theslidingstream #fluefiske #classicangling #fluebinding #flytying #flyfishinglife

The Yellow Dotterel, a little known spider pattern which is found in Abraham Wilkinson's fly list of
1848. It was later purlioned by Jim Wynn and added to his own list of flies. Hopefully, the second

Body: Straw silk ribbed with gold tinsel
Legs: Dotterel overcovert sometimes substituted with Curlew Overcovert #northcountryspiders #wetflies #theslidingstream #softhackles #softhackle #traditionalflytying #classicflytying #flytying #flytyingjunkie #flugbinding #fluefiske #troutflies #flyfishing #flyfishinglife #browntroutfishing #troutfishing #catchandrelease #wildbrowntrout #flyfishinglife #flyfishinglifestyle #keepemwet
