# Dr Howard Alexander Bell of Wrington was the most important and influential pioneer in the development of imitative nymph fly patterns and flyfishing techniques on the English reservoirs. Adrian Freer has recently unearthed a number of his previously unknown patterns, and here details the dressings of all of Dr Bell's 35 fly patterns, more than half of which have not previously been published.
