GO 2 Fly

[Kodiak Commando 0]

 

Trout are just different up here so you won't find your Traditional trout flies and go to, although they do work.

 

Anytime but the fall for trout up here I would say a size 4 olive bunny fly with barbell eyes or a conhead, also a size 6 olive wooly bugger.

 

In the fall I would say a bead but since it's not a "True Fly" (ALthough i use them a lot) I will say a articulated flesh fly.

It's a secret, so don't tell anyone ..........Fox Poopah! Olive is my top color of choice, but the FP can be tied in several different styles.

 

Remember, it's a secret

I've had most of my luck with a bead head Olive Hare's ear size sixteen. I could probably just stay with it and be okay, but I just can't help myself from continuously trying new and different patterns. I would probably benefit from remembering that often the old stand by's are the best.

If there's nothing obvious happening I'll probably tie on an orange scud or an olive caddis pupa. If there's something happening bug-wise, then it's "match the hatch."

elk hair caddis. works for cold, and warm water fish.

 

 

Indeed! It was my top trout producer last year... and top bluegill producer. If the gills weren't hitting on top, I'd let the fly get wet and fish it like a streamer. Absolutely killer.

 

Always the first fly I tie on.

 

For nymph, I generally go with a beadhead PT.

Hmm this is pretty interesting to see all these different patterns

 

For me for trout my go to pattern usually is a size 12-16 cream caddis. It always seems to get fish. I think its the peacock haha

 

For bass and warmwater, probably just some sort of popper, bass love the sound

In the summer it has to be the "sedgehog". That fly is awsome!

 

I used to be partial to a "fritz stinger" but the body was often too bulky and the hook gape wasnt wide enough which resulted in many lost fish. I haven't found a suitable hook to tie them up for myself :/

I think mine would have to be the old elk hair caddis

with a dropper of secret nymph.

If there is no hatch then my go to is a Picketpin fish it as a dry or a wetTight lines Mike

Pheasant tail nymph or hares ear can almost always get it done for me.

 

I often go to the royal coachman for surface action.
