Essential Trout Flies

[Obi 0]

Hi all!

 

Just out of curiosity - what would you consider your few must-have-all-around-fly-patterns for trout-fishing in streams, that you would never wnat to miss in your fly box? I was thinking about streamers, nymphs and dry flies.......

 

For me, it would be:

 

1.) Dry flies:

 

- Red tag in various sizes, #14 - 22, with grizzly and red hackle

- Deer Hair Sedge, #12 & #14

- BWO, #16 - #20

 

 

2.) Nymphs:

 

- Czech Nymphs in various Color-Combinations, #10

- GH Phaseant Tail #12 & #14

 

 

3.) Streamers

- Wooly Bugger (of course )

 

 

Not sure about wet flies, though..........

 

 

So please share your all-time favourites as well!

 

 

Take care,

 

Obi

3.) Wets

 

- Grouse and(add own colour) #10 - #16

- bibio #10 - #18

- buzzer, variety of shades #10 - #14

- Woodduck(add own colour) #10-#16

- Teal (add own Colour) #10-#18

 

Thats pretty much my trout box, along with all the other odds and ends but I always like to have that lot in a pocket somewhere.

I use nymphs 90% of situations, my best patterns are:

 

-A simple Scud pattern with a pink hotspot and copper Rib in #12 and #14

Hare's ear Dubbing with somePink spectra Dubbing for the Eggs/Hotspot, Bodystretch (I usually use brown) and Copper wire for the Ribbing

 

-Goldhead Hare's Ear in #12 and #14:

(Tied very simplistic) pheasant tail fibers for tail, hares ear dubbing for the abdomen, copper Rib, and some darker Peacock-ish Dubbing for the Thorax

 

-Goldhead Pheasant Tail in #12 and #14:

Tied almost the same way as the Hare's ear, but use pheasant tail fibers for the abdomen instead of Hare's Ear.

 

 

These are always my first go-to patterns. I rarely fish Dryflies and Streamers and don't have any go-to patterns.

However, i consider Wooly Buggers as good Streamer patterns and CDC&ELKs and Parachute Dries in different Colors and sizes as good Dries, but with Dries especially you have to match the hatch.
