RESERVOIR
TROUT FLIES
An Angler’s
Guide to Successful Fly Patterns
Adrian V. W. Freer
The
purpose of this invaluable and comprehensive book is two fold. Firstly,
to
discuss the design and dressing of reservoir trout flies with a view to
understanding how they actually appear to the trout. Secondly, to
provide a
reference guide to the most popular and successful reservoir fly
patterns in
use today.

Member's
Flies
Some time ago the Association
published a series of 16 fly patterns in the newsletter. These
patterns were submitted by
members as being flies worth trying in the Leicestershire region.
These patterns have been uploaded onto this web-site for ready
reference. Although possibly a little dated now, they may well
still be highly effective flies.
For ease of reference a
photograph of each fly, the dressing menu, a list of variants and
comments on each individual pattern are all shown on the same page.
Provides a comprehensive
‘on the bench’ reference handbook for both the amateur and professional
fly tyer.
Offers helpful advice to
anglers contemplating tying their own flies for the first time.
Includes over 380 colour
photographs together with diagrams and tables.
