We might well all be allowed to travel to our favourite fishing holes once more but the water despite the mild Winter is still very cold. The fish will still be grubbing around near the bottom searching for food items. This is a great little Bloodworm pattern for fishing on the point of a team of buzzers. Its sleek profile will ensure that it sinks quickly in the water anchoring your team of flies. It will also work just as well under a bung!

So, what would your starting setup consist of for a small Stillwater? Let me know in the comments section below.
