FLIES
 
The choice of flies for both trout and salmon is a much debated issue throughout the fishing world. For many experienced anglers that choice will only be made when the water conditions are seen, observed fly life is identified and experience is brought to bear on the bank of the river. However for those less experienced anglers or those who want to travel light the following list of traditional flies and variations will catch fish on the Agivey.
