I.B. Fishing and I are super proud of this one, it's taken some time!

We all know that the vast majority of the food that trout and grayling eat is very small, but it’s been so hard to fill your fly box with the correctly sized tungsten beaded nymphs – until now!

This range of our ten most popular nymph patterns is designed with one purpose in mind – to put more fish in your net! With so many patterns in the sz20-24 range, these are sure to perfectly fill that gap in your nymph armoury.

Using the very best in European fly tying materials, top class hooks, Spanish Coq de Leon tails, and the strongest threads we can source. You’ll even find teardrop style tungsten beads on many of these patterns. Heavier than slotted beads for their size, this type of bead is perfect for smaller flies like these.

No matter if you’re fishing shallow riffles in the summer or dredging for grayling in the winter, these flies will get you in to the feeding zone in no time.

The Peeping Caddis is the smallest commercially available that we’re aware of, the Quill Jig screams natural attraction, and you just know that tiny Baby Pink Caddis is going to be your new favourite grayling pattern!

William and his friend Rob have been making the journey from Norfolk to Derbyshire for years, and have both caught some cracking fish, but they've never caught the Wye quite 'right' during the mayfly season. Usually they've been a week too early or a weekend too late.
Amongst the stormy showers yesterday we put that right. William caught a fish that it feels like we've been chasing for the last ten years - a true trophy fish from Wye waters. The sz10 mayfly looked like a midge in the mouth of this fish!

The river Lathkill never gives up it's secrets too willingly. These are the the most wild of wild trout, in the clearest of clear water. But if you take your time, work your fish out, fish from the correct position, make the perfect cast, and have a little luck on your side, it can be the most rewarding of waters.
That's what David and I did to catch this spectacular specimen, on a recent day on water. How he didn't miss the take I don't know, it took an age - I'd definitely have missed it!

No fish rising yesterday during a guided session on the Dove, but during the grannom flurries we found that the AB Caddis Grub fished at 3/4 depth was the only nymph we needed! More info in the comments ⬇️
