I find a lime trude or pass lake both to be very effective when nothing else is working.. find some colours that work where your fishing.. and make some attractors like stinky mentioned.. :cheers:

In mine :

 

Parachutes (Adams & Hare's Ear)

Theo's CDC PT Nymph

GR Hare's Ear Nymph

Partridge and Orange wet

Partridge and Green wet

Hare's Ear Soft Hackle

CDC Elk Hair Caddis

Ants, floating and wet

 

These all work well for me on small streams

Looking at my own list, I'd better get tying!

Terestrials, terestrials, terestrials!!! Can't say enough good things about em. Grasshoppers, crickets, ants, and although I dont believe it's considered a terrestial deer hair frog patterns. with these patterns in your fly box, you'll catch any fish, anywhere.

Is there a spot i could find these or a pic so i can see what they look like and with the patterns?

Birds Nests

Elk Hair Caddis

PTs (bead head and regular)

WD40

Zebra Midge

Hares Ear

Parachute Adams (also a dark and light parachute dry fly)

Royal Wulff

Humpies (yellow)

La Fontaine Caddis Emergers (various)

Kashew, any flies that I havent been able to find in our data base here, I just google it, and I can generaly find a great site with the patterns. Cant come up with any right away, but google will give you some great sites.

Hi. Here are my essential half dozen . . .

 

 

STREAMERS:

 

Olive Woolly Bugger (size 8 and 10)

Muddler Minnow (size 8 and 10)

 

WET:

 

Partridge and Orange (size 12 and 14)

Pheasant Tail E-Z Nymph (size 12 and 14)

 

DRY:

 

Adams (size 12, 14, 16)

Deer Hair Caddis (size 12, 14 16)

 

 

If the fishes are not interested in any of the above, I just practice my casting skills . . .
