Recommended flies to use in November are:-
In November and the winter months you may not see many fish rising but they are still there!
|
 |
Blakestone Buzzer Black.
One of many buzzer patterns that will catch fish. The other most popular colour is olive but red, orange and even white are worth having in your box.
|
 |
Montana Nymph.
A good all-round nymph/lure in the popular green & black colour combination. Worth trying in both weighted (gold head) and non-weighted varieties.
The Montana works well in many different conditions. Best fished on a floating line, long leader and retrieved slowly. The chenille thorax can be varied in colour, orange and yellow are other colours that fish well.
We suggest that you use the smaller versions of this fly as tied on size 14 or 16 hooks.

 |
Hot Head Diawl Bach.
An excellent fly and one of the most successful all-year round nymphs, the Diawl Bach in all its variations is still worth a try during January.
The Diawl Bach (Little Devil) should be used when buzzers are on the water.
It can be fished on any line, from floating to fast sinker and at almost any depth.

 |
Mini Cats Whisker.
One of the few lures that has remained popular over the last twenty years or so. (Whatever happened to the Ace of Spades, Ombudsman & Black Chenille?)
This is one of those all round lures, fish it on a floating, intermediate or sinking line at various rates of retrieve and it will still catch. The cats whisker works superbly even when fished very slowly or even on the drop. You must have one of these in your box, don't let the size deceive you, it's very effective.

Adams Dry Fly.
The Adams is in my opinion one of the best all round dry flies, I tend to tie the body with mole fur but any form of blue/grey dubbing can be used. Make sure that the proportion of the body and tail are correct as are the hackles with the hook gape.
The fly can be fished static or on a varied retrieve using a floating line. I have had lots of success fishing this fly on lakes using an intermediate line and stripping the fly very quickly under the water, takes from rainbow trout using this method can be very aggressive.

Orange Fritz Fly.
The Orange Blob is a fritz mini-lure and works superbly when fished very fast, ideal when trout are taking Daphnia. The pattern can also be tied in a mass of colours from dark to very bright on the colour spectrum. The darker coloured fritz's are usually fished more slowly than the lighter coloured ones.
|
 |
White Baby Doll Fly.
The baby doll is used to imitate a small fish, it works as a standard lure and can be fished at almost any depth with different rates of retrieve. The Baby Doll is an ideal lure to use in the fry season around October and November time. Colours that seem to work well in addition to white are fluo green, peach and white with fluo green back.
Wool is best material for the body but antron can be used as a substitute.
