Usefull Fly Patterns

Home   Latest News   Diary   Catch Returns   Gallery   Archive

                               We will only put patterns on this page that have proved to be successfull or have some relevance to Lullingstone or Yorks Hill Farm. After all you can easily obtain thousands of fly patterns from magazines and books. So, if you have a pattern that you devised or is perhaps a variant of a well know pattern that has worked well on our waters then why not share the fly with other members. You can either take a photo yourself and send to Tom Lee or leave the fly in an envelope at Lullingstone. He will return the fly if required ( promise).
