mtn 0 Report post Posted December 6, 2006 You could also tie the f fly its proably the easiest pattern in the world to tie. It was the first dry I ever tied, then i added a colar hackle to the fly and its been a great fish catcher. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
phg 0 Report post Posted December 7, 2006 A good blue winged olive is hard to beat! The fly is a standard Catskill tie with hackle tip wings. It can be done with natural mallard flank as bundled fiber wings, though, and an elk hair caddis tied with blue winged olive colors also works. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WYKnot 0 Report post Posted December 7, 2006 Clark's Stonefly, tied size 14-16 as a caddis, is a pretty straight forward pattern. Just tie something and then go catch a fish on it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

steelie 0 Report post Posted December 10, 2006 Good Day, The Adam's is still pretty big here in Michigan - the state of its creation. I find it to be one of the go to dry flies on small streams and creeks throughout the season. Steelie Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike Sammon 0 Report post Posted December 12, 2006 Have to agree with "mtn" gotta be the easiest fly "F fly" to begin of with :headbang: Ideal for small streams. [You could also tie the f fly its proably the easiest pattern in the world to tie.] Materials I would use: Fly-rite dubbing,very fine copper wire and 3 Mallard CDC feathers. Best Of luck. tight lines Mike .S Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
