Traditional Fly Patterns

My good mate Gaius Bell has been busy at the vise but unable to get out fishing on the river, so very kindly sent me some of his latest mayfly creations to test out, putting his own twist on traditional fly patterns.  I'd also been given some classic patterns from Simon Pritchett a week earlier.  Duffers fortnight is when we get the main hatch of our biggest mayfly (Ephemera danica) on the southern chalkstreams so it's time this duffer put them to the test and I head to the River Frome in Dorset
