Caddis and Hendrickson take the most fish up here in my area. When I want to punish myself a trico in size 24 is good too.

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.

What's up with the picture of the stocker rainbow trout but the caption "smallie fanatic"?

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.

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?

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.

If it is on the end of your leader, heck yes it counts. Cheers, Jeff.
