For Trout

Cranky cripple emergers & avon specials, Dries EsayPeasyUSD and flat spent spinner and nymphs by Skues and north country spiders and bugs, CDC& Elk and anything big & buggy and tiny midge and dries from a good friend, Hove in South Wales

as above but lose the wings on the dry USD, the Grayling come up fast from below and dont need a wing Heavy shrimpstiny dry USD mayflies Iron blue and Large Darks & BWO Big dries and emergers even - like #12

 

Stingers and wets & muddlers for seatrout

 

and for Salmon - shrimps collies and hairwings and CDC spey flies and even a few featherwings and hairy prawns

I actually fish wets ( soft hackles) 90% of the time.

Anybody know what category they fit in?

[JarrodRuggles 0]

Go ahead and put it with nymphs......sory forgot the soft hacle category.

I do anything that is my own. I usualy take the first day of a fishing trip to turn oevr rocks and collect sample, of which I tie 20 patterns in an attempt to imitate them, and then I go fish the next day and come back home empty handed (new to fly fishing, and I cannot keep the same fly on my line for longer than 5 min, always have to try something new )

Freshwater - Terrestrials

Saltwater - Hairwing baitfish patterns

With the trout in Vermont and being it was the first fly I learned to tie with any accuracy I love the Adams size 12-14.

 

I can use it many ways and still catch fish.

Hmm, I use dries alot when i get to the streams around here. most notably size 10-16 stimulators in the standard color is my favorite. but i use lots of different dries depending on my mood. lol

I almost always find myself going back to an olive soft hackle sz 16-20. Sometimes I will drop a midge off of it as well.

Nymphs 80% of the time for trout, salmon, steelhead

 

Other 20% would be egg flys, speys, and streamers.

I fish a brown hackle peacock a great deal of the time. Also I use its cousin, grey hackle peacock. These are my favorites but am experimenting with some home-made patterns. Will let you know what I come up with here. The renegade was featured in a flyfishing magazine a few years ago (not going through about 100 magazines) and they showed the fly tied with, starting at the bend- hackle, black chenille, hackle, chenille of a different/contrasing color, and hackle. The hackle I use is brown and the front color I have used is pink, yellow, or olive. Hook size can be anything; I use size 6 to 10. Dry fly- Adams without the wings; just tail, dubbed body, three wraps of hackle.

I am more of a nymph guy then anything. I use nymphs about 70% of the time and use dries the other 30% unless I am salmon/steelhead fishing.

I fish streamers mainly. I develop my own patterns and am always tewaking them to show the fish something new.

I'm assuming Deerhair poppers are terrestrials. I will fish them all day long and am productive most of the time with them. This year I'm actually forcing myself to fish subsurface flies...Actually, last weekend was the first time I've ever caught a fish on a clouser! It was fun! Still my vote which I screw up voting null to see the choices is for "POPPERS"

I almost always swing nymphs. This is my first season ever fly fishing, so for me quantity is the ticket.
