skyphix 0 Report post Posted February 18, 2009 Streamers worked actively (not swung) unless I see fish rising or am tired of the same 'ol thing. Species doesn't seem to matter. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

McRad 0 Report post Posted April 17, 2013 one of my favorite rigs is a hopper dropper, dryfly combined with a small nymph. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nicktrap 0 Report post Posted April 17, 2013 i voted dry flies but usually fish emergers, my favorite being a Quigley cripple or some variation of it using CDC. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Will K 0 Report post Posted April 18, 2013 Tough one. It's close. I'd say I go through phases both tying and fishing where I use lots of a specific fly or style of fly. Historically, nymph's, and streamer or wet fly variations were my favorite, and though I'd fish known patterns, most often it was a "version" of my own. The last few years I've fished a lot more dries, and for whatever reason, this past winter my tying was drawn to patterns with a long history. Some I've used for years, some I've only just started to mess with for whatever random reason. I've just found simplicity and comfort in tying what's been tied for decades and have enjoyed it. I guess it's hard to dial this in the more I think about it... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wavey1988 0 Report post Posted June 3, 2013 Nymphs mostly. Montana nymphs have been particularly good to me lately. But I have a couple lure patterns I like. Cats whiskers. particularly a variation with a hot orange bead head Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
