Useful where some extra attraction is needed. £2.50 for 25

Pink famously good for grayling.
1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4mm

Orange are useful in peat stained waters where the orange colour is most visible but I've found this colour is a good all round attractor for trout and grayling.
1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4mm

Black is very good in low light conditions or when the water is carrying a bit of spate colour / sediment.  I read about this , I was a little sceptical but I tried it fishing the river Wharfe while it was up and coloured and the black fly was picked out of a 3 fly cast over and over.  I will post pictures of the fly I used soon.    
1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4mm

Red - I've had a lot of requests for these so I've just got them in.  I haven't had chance to try them out yet myself so I'll most more soon.    
1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4mm

Chartreuse - This is used a lot in marine patterns but I'm looking forward to trying in freshwater soon.  Seems to be some demand for this colour so I think it must be useful.    
1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4 mm

Yellow 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4 mm

Luminous - Sea Trout ? Night time for big browns ?  Sea-fishing ? lots of possiblities

White - New for 2010. 
1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4 mm
