Avon Flies are tied in the "Clyde Style" They are dressed to match the real insect as closely as possible. Most flies require very few materials, typically tail, body and hackle and a wing for some of the dries. Wet flies sometimes have a wire rib. Mole is a popular dubbing and wings are made from an interesting range of feathers including starling, blackbird, snipe, woodcock, fieldfare, waterhen, blue jay, water rail and guinea fowl.
We will try to feature what flies to fish when, where on the cast and size of hook. Remember keep the dressings sparse!!
