Thread: Three dries + three nymphs

  1. #1

    Default Three dries + three nymphs

    Imagine that you are invited to flyfish for trout, but the place is a secret for you and you must choose just three dries and three nymphs for the case. What's your "blind" selection?

    Same as above, but substitute a EHC for the beetle and a Prince nymph for the scud.

    Parachute Adams, Griffith's Gnat, Renegade

    Flashback beadhead Pheasant Tail, Woolly Bugger (black or green or brown), Beadhead Hare's Ear

    Those are my favorite go to flies for search patterns on waters I have never fished.

    Parachute BWO, Elk Hair Caddis, Beetle. (Beetle if it's warm enough. Tiny midge dry, if it's not.)

    Wooly bugger, flashback beadhead Pheasant Tail, Zebra type midge.

    These are the flies that I have the most success with in unknown, inconsistent streams.
