mouse6196 0 Report post Posted May 31, 2009 We have strong caddis hatches in my area so I find the stimulators in a size 14 or 16, but I'd never hit the river during Caddis time without size 20-22 elk hair caddis flies in my box. 80% of my fishing is with nymphs and emergers but nothing is more exciting as an evening of rising trout.

Old Hat 0 Report post Posted July 1, 2009 One that I picked up from this sight is Dryfly Purist's "Animal" This is just a super pattern especially for beginners. It mimics just about everything from midges to hoppers but doesn't "match" anything. Floats perfect on every cast. I like to leave the hackle on top.

Arkansas Mike 0 Report post Posted July 1, 2009 Stimulators! I caught a huge brown a month or so ago on an orange Stimulator. They weren't taking it off the top, so I gave it a little tug to pull it under and there he was. Is it still considered a dry fly if you work it underwater?

rstout 0 Report post Posted July 9, 2009 My favorite is a Grey Wulff in 12 or 14. The river I fish the most is big with lots of whitewater. Lots of caddis and mayflies. This fly works for both. Rob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
