To Tie: Kelly Galloup's Sex Dungeon (close second is his Heifer Groomer)

I agree, at least for now. I've been tying and fishing streamers like the sex dungeon and the zoo cougar. Also tied some like the sex D but without the trademark deer head hair.

This is harder than I though at first. There are flys I love to tie and fish because they are simple and productive (Al's rat, CDC EHC), There are flys I like to tie because they are challenging, stimulators for example. And then there are flys that I just like because they look good and work well like parachute or standard drys. But I think the flys I most enjoy tying are the patterns that I am fooling with to try and improve an old fly or create a new one. So I guess the answer is that I don't have a single favorite.

That is a toughie. I'm going to interpret the question in two ways. First, if I could only have one fly it would be a basic 2 1/2 inch silvery white baitfish pattern. I can catch most predatory species in fresh or salt from bream to billfish. My favorite fly to fish is a popper soley because of the visual nature of the take. Other surface or dry flies will often be sipped but popper strikes are usually violent and vulgar. I hope when it's my time to check out its because my ticker exploded from the violent explosion on my popper. I tell my wife a different story so don't dime me out.

To fish, it's gotta be Bethke's Pink Squirrel. To tie, it's hand's down the Copper John.

It's hard to have single favorite flies. My favorites to tie are the intruder style flies. To fish, spiders and soft hackles.

The Tungsten Beadhead Pheasant Tail is my alltime favorite. The Copper John is probably it's equal but I have fished the Pheasant Tail much more and have confidence in it and confidence is the name of the game when nymphing.
