PLEASE FEEL FREE TO ADD NAMED PATTERNS TO THE LIST THAT YOU HAVE BEEN USING AND CATCHING ON, SAVE AND COPY TO FORUM IF YOU WISH. OR JUST MENTION THE PATTERN IN THE FORUM STRING AND I WILL MAKE THE ADJUSTMENTS TO INCLUDE IT IN THE LIST.
January - Sinking lines and popular lure patterns like Consett Budgie, Ace of Spades, Satanic Buzzer, Black Buzzer & Bloodworms, Black and Green Tadpole and Cat's Whiskers will be the order of the day.
February - Fish deep with sinking lines, but sometimes the fish will react better to a quick retrieve. Best lures are Black Yuppy, Satanic Buzzer, Black Buzzer & Bloodworms Consett Budgie, Ace of Spades, and White and Orange Fritz.
March - Slow sinking lines will do the trick, with lures like Black IPN, Consett Budgie, and Ace of Spades, along with Nymphs like Montana, GRHE, Satanic Buzzer, Black Buzzer & Bloodworms and Pheasant Tails.
April - The intermediate line will be best, along with lures such as Consett Budgie, Viva, Christmas Tree, Black IPN, and Orange IPN. Satanic Buzzer, Black Buzzer & Bloodworms, Goldhead Hare's Ear will also work well.
May - Floating or Intermediate lines, with traditionals like Greenwells and Invicta, are worth a go, but don't forget lures like Cat's Whiskers, Viva, Black IPN, Satanic Buzzer, Black Buzzer & Bloodworms, Orange IPN and Consett Budgie.
June - Floating lines are a must, to get the best of some exciting surface sport. Successful dries include the Black Hopper family, and very small top nymphs like buzzers, Satanic Buzzer, Black Buzzer & Bloodworms PTN, Hare's Ear and Montana. F-Fly.
July - Floating or intermediate lines will be all that are required, along with small wet flies like Blae and Black, Black Spider, Bibio, and Black Pennell. Dries such as Daddy Long Legs, Hoppers, F-Fly, Dry Greenwells Tadpoles and small Buzzers are also a must this month.
August - Floaters and Intermediates will still be the best, using PTN,'s various Buzzers, GRHE's, Damsels, Daddies, Hoppers, Coul de Canard, Black Pennell, F-Fly,and Bibio. Also try Cats Whiskers and other mini lures.
September - Daddies are very important this month, either fished on the surface or just below. Hoppers and dries in various colours will work, but don't ignore lures such as Ace of Spades and Consett Budgie, or Damsel nymphs. Satanic Buzzer, Black Buzzer & Bloodworms.
October - Colder weather this month should mean a return to patterns such as Consett Budgie, Olive IPN, Yellow IPN, Satanic Buzzer, Black Buzzer & Bloodworms, And Goldhead Damsel.
November - With the water getting colder the fish will be deeper, so it is back to sinking lines and lures. Consett Budgie, Ace of Spades,Satanic Buzzer, Black Buzzer & Bloodworms Black and Green Tadpole, Christmas tree, and Orange or White Fritzes should do the trick.
