favorite category of flies

[mikechell 0]

Since I am not trout fishing, I tie terrestrials ... nothing beats a bass or bream topwater hit on a grasshopper or dahlberg.

I guess you could stick a bugger in the streamer catagory, my favorite to tie and fish. Hands down

By far, soft hackle flies - spiders and flymphs.

But I've been known to throw a few terrestrails around, too.

Lil streamers will work for anything....

for tying, I love everything.

 

For fishing, it really depends on species.

 

For most trout, I mainly find myself using nymphs.

 

For brookies, it's mostly attractor-style dries.

warmwater guy; I like terrestrials followed closely streamers and nymphs

Love the technicality of midge fishing.

I voted midge but a close second for me is a nymph. Why is a nymph a close second? Every spieces of fish will eat something that is brown and about 5/8 of an inch long. For you metric guys 5/8 of an inch is 15.875mm

Warm water, my got to is soft hackle. My most productive by far as been a orange dubbed body with a partridge soft hackle collar

I had to click on attractor as a category but really for tying its classic attractor wet flies and then maybe streamers to follow. I know I've had a profoundly enjoyable time tying wets and soft hackles like The Professor and Peacock and Partridge or Hen. But the Ghost series and even my own versions of Muddlers and Woolly Buggers are fun too. So wets.

 

Fishing: That's all according to where I am , but probably my very best favorite catch category is a good sized salmon on a Royal Wullf or Royal Coachman dry fly or Stimulator right smack in the middle of a stubborn caddis hatch when it shouldn't work LOL.

 

At home it's midge fishing if in ponds. Sand eels if in a salt estuary.

For trout dryflies, for stripers streamers.

Whatever they will hit.

Whatever the fish are hitting at that particular time.
