It's that time of year again when my attention turns to re-stocking the tube fly boxes in preparation for the early spring fishing. I would mostly use tube flies of various sizes and weights depending on conditions but occasionally I'd give an Akroyd tied on a large single hook a swim.
I tend to keep the number of patterns I carry to a minimum just to reduce the temptation to chop and change flies all the time through out the day. Here are a selection of my go to patterns which see most action.

 |
| An old Dee favourite - The Akroyd |
 |
| Gold Willie Gunns and Black & Yellows. You won't go far wrong with these in the Spring months. |
 |
| Park Shrimp. All the colours associated with spring fishing. Deadly wee fly. |
 |
| Maggie's Shrimp. Probably my favourite fly to use in the Spring. |
 |
| Black & Chartreuse and Willie Gunn Franc N Snaeldas. |
 |
| Drowned Mouse. This is a new addition to my box for next year but by no means a new pattern. |
