Mylar zonker

Mylar piping or tubing this is a very nice material which has given us realistic look of a streamer’s body. I have a fondness for this material because I have caught my first brown trout for a black marabou streamer with a silver body from the mylar.

Small CdC

Very, very easy to tie and very effective small dry fly. I have caught on this pattern a lot of trout from February to August.

Muddler Matuka

This pattern the Muddler Matuka has been tested in very good results in my local Vistula river. Combination of a wing in matuka style, a muddler head and light yellow/cream body this is what Vistula’s brown trout like.

Antron Caddisfly Pupa

Interesting and not so difficult to tie imitation of emerging caddis fly. It is worth to have this pattern in other colors like white, black, orange and green. When it’s wet looks more natural.

Bead Head Pheasant Tail Nymph

Unquestionably the bead head pheasant tail nymph is the most popular nymph pattern in Poland, and not only. Tied in a lot of variations: different colors of collars or beads, with or without hackle, with additional backs…

CdC Grey Dun

Basic dry fly in my box from many years. Easy to tie, in my opinion the easies dry fly for beginner fly tier. Usually I am tying this pattern on hooks in size 12-16, sometimes in smaller hooks.

Little hare

In my opinion this is the easiest nymph pattern for begginer fly tyer. Not looks like a perfect modern nymph, but very effective for brown trout in rivers in South of Poland.

Zonker

This is my undoubtedly favorite streamer pattern which I am using almost in all trips. I like to use a chain for eyes because they are not so heavy like for example the dumbbell or twin eyes and tie the head with dubbing made in a thread loop.
