Need the awesomest, beutifulest, fish catchiest brown trout fly ever

Next summer I'm going to take even more (and bigger) of the brown trout in my favorite lake.
I'm looking for a new killer pattern.

So, as it says in the title, I need the awesomest, beutifulest, fish catchiest brown trout fly ever.
Preferable a streamer fly.

Any ideas?



Thorarinn.

You probably are not looking for an answer this simple but... I catch more big browns on olive buggers than any other pattern by far.

Charlie Bisharats Pole Dancer. This is a topwater streamer that works like a Zara Spook lure. Designed with striped bass and largemouth bass in mind. It works for many species in fresh and saltwater including brown trout.

Thorarinna,

I use a red and black semi seal leech for big browns in the lake where I fish in Colorado. Biggest so far was 30", several dozen over the last few years in the 22 to 28 inch class. Size 4 or 6 on a 4X hook.

Easy, durable tie. Cacthes anything that swims so far.....

Hy guys

Simple is good, I use a pattern that looks like the olive bugger except I use orange and black, it's called Nobbler.
Like this one: http://www.pickafly.com/fly-fishing-...-streamer.html

I googled pictures for pole dancer, luckily my wife wasn't there ;)
What a fly, is it fishscull in the head?
Looks a bit like hitching, but probable not the same.

Black semi seal looks a relative of the buggger and Nobbler.
Is it also called Simi Seal Leach: http://www.azod.com/fishing/flyfishi...Seal Leech.htm

I'm afraid I have to tie all those patterns and try them out.

Kelly Gallups' Sex Dungeon. (Sex dungeon???? Pole dancer?? You better hope your wife doesn't see this thread:shock:

My go to fly for browns is the halloween leech and the still wter nympth. Both are simple ties and will work in rivers, or lakes. My other go to fly is a stayner ducktail.

I think the oldies are the goodies when it comes to browns, Personaly I have caught more browns on Pheasant Tail Nymphs than any other pattern.
All the best.
Mike

Sorry, I have no recommendations, I'm just chiming in to say that I think this thread should be in the running for the most interesting title of the year. :)

Check out everything you can find on Kelly Galloup Streamers then Ray Schmidt Streamers and Bob Linsenman's streamer flies...in particular the Ditch Pig. If you are on Facebook, you may find this one interesting. Galloup Streamer Fans

The pole dancer head is an injection molded head of some type of resin or plastic. It is not yet a available separate from the completed fly. Umpqua Feather Merchants distributes the fly. The fly sits on the surface and walks the dog like a Zara Spook lure. There are some videos of it on YouTube. It has been used successfully for browns here in California.

It would have been easier for Diogenes the Cynic to find an honest man than to find 'the awesomest, beutifulest, fish catchiest brown trout fly ever'.

BUT!!!! If anyone does find it please let us know.

"What a fly, is it fishscull in the head?"

It's a hard foam head. The head is what makes it a Pole dancer.

I believe that everyone was honest about their flies :)
I'ts their favorite choices.

ps.
I still have to check some of the flies out, tyed one this evening, I'm excited

Stu Thompson has the DDH Leech patterns which he made famous fishing for cats and carp. They would work great on still waters fished deep and slow in colors to match the local leeches. Another thing which BIG BROWNS love is Crawdads! If you have crawdads in your local resevoir or lake, find out when the typically molt...probably sometime in april through june. That is when you want to fish crawdaddy patterns when the real ones are soft shelled!

Well, streamers will be streamers ... and nymphs will do their thing - but what respectable brown, or for that matter what rainbow worthy of it's stripes, can resist a hopper ...?

We don't have leeches or crawdads here, but leech will do quite well I think as a general pattern.
As Mike Thomas says earlier, PT is a good pattern and I use it alot for browns!

I have never seen this hopper pattern before, what is it immitating?

Thorarinn

Like maybe a "grasshopper" ... do they have such a thing there ...?

Haha, no we don't have grasshoppers and we even hardly have mayflies :)
