Top flies for caithness area?

[zimtrout]

Good evening
right question time, who has the top patterns for up in this neck of the woods?
I tie flies so will have a bash at tying some of the suggested patterns up, any help
would be great,  cheers zimtrout

Same idea as fachan although slightly different approach. I find traditional palmered patterns with a few extra turns on the body hackles does the trick.

thanks gents
have started tying up sedgehogs, in olive, black and claret, and stan headly's half hogs, in the same sorts of colours,some with flashier ribs,  will attempt to tie up some dirty weaker's,  watten warriors, loch ordie's,  not tied many tradition palmered patterns but have had a couple of hours playing about with hen hackles on slightly larger hook to get the hang of it, just for practice! any other must have patterns?? cheers zimtrout

Good chance of mayfly in June, be prepared!
Watten doesn't have any, nor Sarclet I think, south end of Calder was hoaching with them when I fished it in June a couple of years ago. Fishing was hectic with big olive-bodied DHEs.
I've always fancied a crack at St Johns when the mayfly are up.

Select from the following for a 3-fly cast: Ke-He, Soldier Palmer, March Brown, Greenwell's Glory, Silver Invicta, Bloody Butcher - any time and all the time -  weel, it works for me?

St Johns Heather fly, Silver Invicta, Watten warrior and Loch Ordies were the most successful flies for me and my two mates last year in July.

Add Alexandra, Black Pennell, and Dunkeld and that is my list.
