My favorite fly is usually the one I just caught something on . My favorite topwater is made with a foam head, gurgler style but with the lip cut off, and 6 or 8 strands of black ostrich herl for a tail. The tail sticks together when wet, and looks very snakey while being castable on my 3 weight. It dives and swims.

Just under the surface: I like a sparsly tied marabou muddler, black over white, tied so it rides upside down.

Bottom: either an Eelworm streamer or a black gillbuster.
