    Question What is your favorite type of fly?

    Nymph, Dry, Streamer, Wet fly? And for the sake of conversation, why?

    I'm just curious.

    My favorite fly is a dry fly. I just like the delicate type of fishing and watching the fly float through the fast water, ripples or pools and seeing the fish come up and sip it off the top of the water. Although, I have discovered a streamer called a Kreelex which has caught me a fair share of fish.

    Probably a soft hackle. Fish it like a nymph, swing it or fish it damp Simply amazing

    Dry fly. Don't cast well, poor wader and can't read the water so I need all the help I can get.

    Regards,

    Dry flies whenever I can, especially hoppers. Its a lot more fun to see the hit than to watch for a subtle indicator move.

    I like them all, but nymphs are probably at the bottom of my favorites list. I do like fishing a soft hackle on the swing, though.

    Whichever one is catching the fish, and what kind of fish I am after! Most of the time, nymphs and small strramers for bluegills. I love watching the Thingamabobber disappear! For trout, soft hackles are killer at the stocker spots around here.
