The Black Frances is every bit as effective as its red cousin. These conehead tubes excel in clear water and you need to fish them hard and deep for salmon everywhere they swim
Designed and popularized by Englishman Peter Deane this odd looking creation has had meteoric success in Iceland and has been doing extremely well in our river systems. It was named after his fly tying assistant Miss Frances Hoydon and has been a success story ever since. Red and Black Frances are the most popular pattern colour, but I have had to bring them out in two other colours due to the popularity with anglers, this can mean only one thing the fly is deadly. Tied on a Salmon gold treble.
The Black Highlander Shrimp is a great early season pattern in the UK and Norway. Fish this shrimp in cold water conditions and in all heights of water.
The Blue Monkey Skull Head is a very mobile pattern which fishes very well in those fast runs and deep V’s at the end of your pools. It will fish from early spring right through until late summer. It is always a good fly to take to Norway in your fly box as well.
This is probably the most used and successful of all of the Pot Belly patterns. It fishes well in all height and conditions of all of the rivers. It is fished throughout the season but comes into its own when the water starts to rise from the cold spring temperatures. Designed on the Pot Belly Pig copper tube, where the movement in this fly is truly magical and will entice many a Salmon. The bristles dancing around at the tail end just add to this fantastic pattern.
This is the cone that uses simple physic laws to make your fly swim better than anything you have ever seen. The cone divides the water and creates turbulence that will make your fly move and look alive. The fly creates its own little turbulent stream where the materials in the fly can move even in the slowest or strongest current. If you believe in a moving lively fly this must be your choice. Remember the fly is all the fish is supposed to see!
Just below the Kinclaven Bridge and opposite the Ferry cottage Gow’s run is a fast flowing stream on the Meikleour & Islamouth beat on the river Tay. We named this red feeler shrimp pattern after this stream as we have had so many fish on it from late summer to the end of the season we called it after one of the places we love to fish. The Gow’s Shrimp works in all areas and is a great back end fly. We have tied it on a 10mm brass tube to give you extra weight on a shorter tube keeping the pattern the correct size.
The Green Highlander Conehead pattern, which began life as a fully dressed classic Atlantic Salmon Fly is now probably one of the best known Scottish pattern throughout the angling world. It is very good in clear cold water conditions.
The Park Shrimp is named after the famous beat on the lower Dee. The fly is as popular tied on tubes as doubles and can be used on all Salmon water with great success. A Conehead fly for all seasons which works equally well in coloured or clear water.

This Pump House Shrimp is named after the Pump House Croy which is on the Meikleour & Islamouth beat on the river Tay. Just below Meikleour House where owner and angler Claire Mercer Nairne tends to spend a bit of her free time fishing this fly with great success. The fly fishes well in all conditions and water levels a great pattern that should be in your fly box. We have tied it on a 10mm brass tube to give you extra weight on a shorter tube keeping the pattern the correct size.

The Spey Shrimp Feeler is a great pattern from early spring right through to the end of the season. One of the best colour combinations for Atlantic Salmon of black and yellow will be sure to produce you a fish throughout the season.
Originally designed by Duncan Egan the copper tube Pot Bellied Pig fly is in most anglers fly boxes. It is a renown Atlantic Salmon catcher with its tantalizing quivering boar bristles and pulsing body and throat hackles. It has been tied in many colour schemes but the Stealth is best fished in clear or peaty water conditions. Terrific summer and Autumn pattern.
