I was looking through my rivers box , and found these flies which have scored well in the past when conditions dictated to go home! They are at there best when the river is carrying a certain degree of suspended sediment fished in the slacks. Some of them are my own patterns and others are just variations of popular flies.(ain't they all?) Has anyone else got any sucessful patterns they would like to share for similar conditions? please add a photo.

Sorry Colin I wasn't being critical :) The more new patterns in the database the more of a resource it becomes, even changes anyone has made to an 'old' pattern that they have found to be successful might be useful to somebody.
