Top Ten Trout Flies for August 2023

It's been a fantastic season so far, and the summer has exceeded our expectations, thanks to the milder and wetter conditions providing a refreshing change from recent years.

We have seen the popularity of Daddy's gaining traction in preparation for their peak use over the next couple of month, with our favourite Pearly Daddy on top place, the Daddy Muddler with its yellow body in 4th, always popular over the summer into Autumn, and the Mini Orange Foam Daddy in 7th.

Klinkhammers are also a must, with our two dropper ranges, the Klink n Dink in 2nd, and Black Midge in 6th.

There has been varied popularity with Shuttlecocks and Shrimps and Spider patterns, the most popular making it into this chart.

These trending flies show a great impression of what is happening on the water at the moment, and directly shows what patterns other fisherman are using to catch those fish!
