Horseshoes 0 Report post Posted February 15, 2009 This is for the wet fly users. I am sincerely curious as to the out come. Thank you for taking the time. I have personally fished with winged the most. But maybe not now. :bugeyes: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
troutguy 0 Report post Posted February 15, 2009 You missed all the best wet flies . What about sizes 8, 6, 4 and 2? Doesn't anyone night fish for browns? Give me a size 4 Montreal, Black Gnat or a size 6 Pickett Pin. Fish the Beaverkill covered bridge swimming area or Wilowemoc Jersey Flats after 10 PM and see what comes out.

riffleriversteelheadslayer 0 Report post Posted February 15, 2009 I'm with trout guy big winged wets at night slay the big browns around here except in spots where there is a good undercut bank then you gotta use a 1/0 to 4/0 mighty mouse Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sagittarius62 0 Report post Posted February 15, 2009 Wingless wets. Spiders, flymphs, soft hackle nymphs. If I am trout fishing the likelihood I have one of these, or a team of them tied on, is somewhere around 95%. I don't use winged wets much, and I do very little dry fly fishing anymore. If I do fish on or near the surface, and it ain't a CDC&Elk, it is one of the above dressed to fish on or near the top. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iso18 0 Report post Posted February 16, 2009 this will be my first year fishing soft hackles.I tied a dozen and swapped some dog fur to a member on this ite for a dozen more.I'm gonna give them a go this year.I usually high stick nymphs,when trout arent actively feeding.When they r,i usually use emergers and dries.With the ocassional bugger swing,when all else fails. Â Â Let you know in about sept,how my thoughts toward soft hackles may have changed. Â shane Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tidewaterfly 0 Report post Posted February 16, 2009 I think your poll results are not accurate. I tried to skip over the winged fly parts, as I don't use them. It wouldn't let me so I had to make choices. Â I prefer a soft hackle wet fly any day! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Horseshoes 0 Report post Posted February 16, 2009 Okay.. live and learn. I didn't know the poll worked that way so I put in a nil zone so it will not register. That should about do it. :headbang: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
redietz 0 Report post Posted February 16, 2009 I typically fish a two fly rig, with the bob a winged wet and the point a soft hackle. Put a bit of floatant on winged wet and it makes a great strike indicator which doubles as a cripple with a hook in it. (And you can pull it under for the last part of your drift.)

Horseshoes 0 Report post Posted February 16, 2009 redietz that is an idea I like the sound of. I am finding the results so far amazing and quite surprising. I can't wait to see where it leads us. :yahoo: I have hopefully revised it to get the best results with you being able to vote accurately. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Horseshoes 0 Report post Posted February 17, 2009 I can't believe there are so little out there that favour the winged. I'm starting to feel sorry for the little buggers. :ripped: Some of you who are just looking must favour the winged? :dunno: Give a click, be proud of using your winged beauties. There has to be a mistake. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
