Have you ever been casting to a trout that's acting as cantankerous as a toddler who missed his nap? You've tried EVERYTHING, but nothing will get the fish to calm down, eat your fly, and spend a few minutes in your net.

What do you do in that situation? Pack up and go home? Admit defeat - yet again - to an animal with the brain the size of a strawberry?

Well, after this week's episode of Untangled, you'll have another trick to try.

This episode shares ten fly patterns that most anglers overlook. When the chips are down and the fish refuse to cooperate, these are the flies you can turn to.

You'll also learn about:

• What to do when you're fishing a dry-dropper rig, but the fish aren't rising very much
• What flies are categorized as mayflies
• Some tips for fishing a dry-dropper rig effectively
• The differences between stocked and wild trout
