Well now that fish are getting into summer patterns and spring/spawn season is over, what flies were you using? Anything new that you have tried that really caught the fish?
What's new and exciting?

The new rod I have coming.
I'm heading out early tomorrow morning in my float tube. I'll be going on a pond that I normally hit golfballs into on the golf course where I normally play golf. They have been nailing poppers down there right and left when I've been there over the last two weeks - I'll see if they are still hitting those or if i need to go deeper to get them.
I'll post pics when I get some...
Thank God for my wife, the midge nymph and those hapless Iowa Hawkeyes!
Other than the rubber legged slumpbuster and the Scrat (FOTW submissions in progress...), the big news has been the continued success of my first season of kayak fishing.
If it swims and eats, it'll eat a fly.
While not exactly new that white colored boa yarn leech with a bead head has been real effective for me this year. Both on bigger bass & crappie.

I love this line!

I put on a #4 orange stimulator (thanks Joe) just to find out if steelhead were looking up and got rewarded with about a 15" cutthroat...surprised the heck out of me. For new flies my #4 ice chenille Renegade has been doing fairly well on lmb, bigger crappie, gill chase it, i've gotten trout and small steel have looked at but i want it to work on smb which so far smb aren't busy here yet. I keep trying it and since the lmb like it just fine, i think the smb will too.
Cheers,

This morning I had bluegill, green sunfish and a couple bass all tear up an orange rubber legged popper

it will go all day long without ever having to change it for something else. not new but exciting!
I have been using a prince nymnph with yelow biot tails, purple peacock for the body and white biot wings.
Also an irresitible with orange hackle at the bend, blue and yellow peacock body, and white hackle at the front.
Not alot of fish on either most of the time, but a few on each fly every time i try it, gills, crapie and bass.
