How to use this guide
If fish are showing
Match the visible rise first. On the Ure around West Tanfield, start with small olives, emergers, sedges, spiders or terrestrials depending on season and time of day.
If nothing is showing
Let the river decide. Low/clear water favours small dries, emergers and dry-dropper. Medium water favours spiders and nymphs. Rising, pushing or coloured water favours nymphs, spiders or a small streamer.
