3FL2 0 Report post Posted September 19, 2007 Do you know the best Patterns to use in every form to catch Trout? The best dry fly I think is a Royal Coachman, Although I heard that this fly is really an attractor. The best Nymph I think is a gold beaded hares tail nymph. Wet fly? Streamers? What other flies work well for trout and Have you been able to tie them yourself? That to me is what I want to get out of fly tying, I want ot able to tie patterns that i will be using and be able to tie on the spot say at the river or on a fly fishing trip. Please post your best thanks!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trout Bum 68 0 Report post Posted September 20, 2007 I like the soft hackles like partridge and orange and hare's ear as far as wet flies are concerned. My favorite streamers are the Black Ghost and a variation of the spruce streamer that I tie with Orvis Angel Hair replacing the feather wing. These seem to be the best for me.

DerekCM 0 Report post Posted September 20, 2007 For me, for trout: Dry- Parachute Hare's Ear or foam, rubber-leg beetle Wet- Hare's Ear Soft-Hackle Nymph- Pheasant-Tail Streamer (I fish these 90% of the time)- McCune's Sculpin in Tan/Ginger or Zoo Cougar Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
utyer 0 Report post Posted September 21, 2007 Dry Fly: Hair wing Adams Wet Fly: Soft hackle hares ear Nymph: Pheasant Tail Streamer: Black leach. This question has many different answers (one for each fly fisher,) and you limited our choices to trout patterns. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rockworm 0 Report post Posted September 22, 2007 3FL2 The best trout flies are the ones that are most like what the fish are used to seeing. If a fly is the right size and colour and behaves like the natural, it will catch fish. That being said, here are my favorites: DRY: Grey Wulff Parachute WET: Stewart's Spider (Black or Dun) NYMPH: Matt's Fur STREAMER: Silver Zonker A conventional assortment, but successful when fishing streams and small rivers.
