Pattern Recommendation?

Dear FTF Member,
Support FTF by Subscribing to Hatches Today! 2011 Issue - In Stock
Since 2003 FlyTyingForum.com has grown from a handful of people to 30,000 registered members and has become the largest fly tying community in the world. In 2007 I published the first issue of Hatches because I felt the FTF community could offer a printed magazine that far exceeds anything the fly tying world has ever seen published. To this day, Hatches is largely made up of articles submitted to me by FTF member and FTF will continue to play a large role in the future of Hatches. Hatches truly is a grassroots effort, unlike many of the other publications in circulation that have the backing of large media corporations. The future of both Hatches and FTF depends on the support of FTF members like you. For $7 a year, you not only help ensure that I have the resources needed to be able to offer you all of the features you enjoy today free of charge, you also get 96 pages of pure fly tying awesomeness that is worth the price by itself. Click Here for Subscription Info Thank You -Will

I'm looking to tie up some patterns for some spring lake fishing and was looking through the database for some ideas. Of course, there are plenty of them in there to go through, so my question is:

What are you favorite spring time/shallow fly patterns?

For more info, I'm in Southwest Ohio if you have any ideas...

Thanks!!!!

if you will be fishing later in spring and in warmer weather then a popper never hurts.... i always seem to have good luck on blue ones. Also large woolly buggers of various sizes. any bunny strip pattern.....crayfish patterns also work great for me!

I've had my best luck here in ohio on a black wolly bugger with pearl lead eyes and a red chenille collar behind the eyes. surprisingly the biggest bass i caught on my fly rod was on a stone fly nymph on a large flat. Ive also done very good wit dragon fly nymphs right next to weeds. and pigboats.

Streamer pattern to match the baitfish in your area. You can't go wrong with a wooly bugger!!!!!
