Fly Tying

What's your favorite dry fly attractor pattern(s)?

Recommended Posts

I fish primarily for trout in the Rockies, and most often reach for a Royal Wulff, CDC and elk, parachute caddis, or a Madam X pattern....typically in about a size 12.

 

I'll usually tie the Royal Wulff parachute style....just easier for me to tie and floats great.

Size 14 parachute Adams

Mr, Steeldrifter. I always thought Adams imitate mayflies, so they wouldn't fit into the attractor category, am I wrong?

 

Mine would be the Madame X.

An attractor is a "genralized" pattern that does not represent one specific food sorce, but rather could imitate a wide range of insects. The Adams is probably the most popular fly for a "wide range imitation" of mayflys so I'd think it would fit the attrator catagory perfect wink.gif

mine would be a royal coachmen about a size 16. I used to use those things a lot but slacked up on them cause they take forever to tye. I dont know what works about em but they do work
