Chris Sandford’s Patterns

A real killer for rivers and still waters.

Winner of the 2010 River Test “One fly” competition for the team of Bob James, Chris Tarrant and Chris Sandford. This improved version of the GMC is indestructible. They are leaded.

A winter favourite, this fly has all the trigger points needed to stimulate slow trout in cold water

Leaded are 5 pence extra and 50 pence per dozen

Inspired by the work of Hans van Klinken, a deadly river or still water pattern for Trout and Grayling. These flies are not cheap, Why? Because the Razor foam, CDC and Peccary used in the construction are not cheap either. Peccary is always difficult to find. This is a fairly complicated tie using only the best materials.
