Thread: What's your favorite fly pattern?

  1. #1

    Default What's your favorite fly pattern?

    Since we were all divulging which flies have never worked for us, how about we change it up a bit? What's your favorite style of fishing, and what's the fly you enjoy fishing the most?

    Streamers in a lake. At times it can be furious fishing. Had one of those times recently at Chopaka Lake in Wa.

    I most enjoy the topwater bite. On a lake, river or creek. Hands down my favorite. But, topwater isn't as productive as throwing streamers for me. Fav fly for topwater is a foam slider and for a streamer it would be a clouser minnnow.

    Go catch a fish,

    Well, it's only been 6 weeks or so since I cought my first fish on a fly but it will have to be the Royal Coachman Dry and a nymph I tied real quick to match a bug I found on the bottom of a rock. That goofy nymph has caught several fish for me. The Royal Coachman has caught a few for me, too.

    I have four favorites at the moment. They are the first four flies that see the end of my tippet when I go fishing. They are Baillie's Black Spider, Red Spider and Dun Spider along with a gray flymph I tied up at Lowell. Those four flies have been very good to me.

    The Blue Wing Olive in different sizes depending on the situation. It always seems to be a go-to no matter what. I still like the orange and grizzly things but I manage lots of fish-to-hand with some size of BWO

    Hmm,

    My favorite winged wet fly is the Parmachene Belle. It's been very productive for me, and it's a fly I've fished since childhood, so there are memories that go with it.

    That said, I often fish a team of 3 wingless wets, which usually includes a water cricket as one of them.
