Flexi Floss Bloodworm
The bloodworm is an imitation of the larval stage of the Chironomid midge or buzzer. Bloodworm spend the majority of their time living in a silty tube in the bottom silt. When disturbed they move their bodies from side to side.
Best fished either on a floating line and long leader or sinking/intermediate line near the bottom, using a slow figure of eight retrieve.

Black Woolly Bugger
The Woolly Bugger is a lure used for both rivers and stillwaters, it is best fished either weighted on a floating line / intermediate or unweighted on a sinking line. Use with a steady figure of eight retrieve

The Green and Black Fritz
The Black and Green Fritz works superbly when fished using various rates of retrieve. The pattern can also be tied in a mass of colours from dark to very bright with black, white and orange being popular. With the darker coloured fritz's are usually fished more slowly than the lighter coloured ones.
The Black and Green Fritz is an outstanding fly in the cold winter months and overall an excellent lure to use during this period.

Cats Whisker Fritz
An all round lure, fish either on a floating, intermediate or sinking line at various rates of retrieve and it should still catch. It works superbly even when fished very slowly or even on the drop. Available in various colours and combinations from orange to black combo's.

Haemoglobin Buzzer
There are many variants of the so called "Buzzer", fishing with one on a bright sunny day can be effective. Generally fished deep and close to the bottom it's always useful to have some in your box.
The fly can be fished like many buzzers on either an intermediate or floating line using a very slow figure of eight retrieve. Takes can be about 2-4ft deep fished close to weed beds in shallow water. In winter this type of fly can be excellent when trout are still taking buzzers as part of their diet.

 |
Ice Buzzer
Another variant of a "Buzzer". Others include the matchstick, and the flexifloss to name but a few.
Fish in the same manner as the Haemoglobin above

| Also, consider the Viva, Spectral Bloodworm, Beaded Apps Bloodworm, Black Pennell, small lures, and the gold ribbed hare's ear. |
