And you trout boys make fun of the bluegill and how they will eat even a bare hook. You should be ashamed.

 

Hey Ditz and Mike,

I've never caught a trout on a bare hook, but after this thread...I'm sho gonna try! LOL

Sawyers killer bug is pretty darn simple and is, well, a killer.

 

Walt's Worm's are really really simple.

 

But I have to admit, thread body midges are about as simple as it gets...

 

Oh, and the Bivisible... that's pretty darn simple - just palmered hackle on a hook.

Will K,

 

Most of these simple flies have been nymphs. In fact, you're the first to mention a dry fly.

 

Anybody else got any ideas on simple dries?

For dry griffiths knat, how about a San Juan worm? Also small foam bugs with just foam and rubber legs work, or even without the legs.

I would have to say a copper wire worm, Thread midge, san juan worm, and griffiths gnat would be a good try. All are ridiculously easy to tye and are probable just as productive as more complicated flys.

A blood worm is definitely the simplest fly to tie. Just flat waxed nylon on a scud hook.

 

For a simple dry fly, Fran Better's "Usual" is about as simple as it gets. My second choice would be an X-caddis.

an F Fly is a fairly simple one also
