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

Recommended Posts

My go-to flies when nothing's hatching are stimulators, but there's several that serve the same purpose, like wulffs, trudes & humpies. For summertime, I always start with a beetle. While not technically an attractor, they're a food source that fish see all day, especially on windy days.

Klinkhamers in spring/early summer.

Then Stimulators later.

This is my try at making a Klink look like an emerging Hendrickson

Stimulators have grown in favor quite abit over the past few years BUT the bivisibles are still my favorite summer attractor. smile.gif

Sure, will work as a caddis, and started its life that way, but turned out to be my most effective mayfly pattern, by far! Oh, and did i mention I fish it as a prospector fly, an emerger, a wet, a... well, you get the picture, I'm sure cool.gif

 

The trout's ways are a mystery... dunno.gif

Trout are dumb.

 

"And while we fret over details of tails and wing profile and thorax color, we cheerfully ignore the big non-sequitur: that a fish will look at two artificial flies and discern differences a diamond grader wouldn't see, and then, twenty seconds later, pass up a real bug to eat a patently bogus one with a curved hunk of steel hanging out of its butt and a piece of plastic string tied to its snoot." ~ Art Scheck

Wright's Royal. Great pattern. Also, a stimulator. Oh- and a parachute Adams, of course. I'm sure I mentioned the CDC & Elk, right?
