The waters I've been fishing here of late would be hard to get away from a peach bugger , gold bead head in a size 8.would a pt nymph following it be considered a seperate fly ? jus' asking .
Kinda agree with you ,herefishy , not as much fun as a dry but a good bit more productive.
it's all good drifts
Freshwater: #10 olive krystal bugger, tungsten bead
Saltwater: This thing (4 matched saddles, EP shrimp brush)
I dunno. I probably catch more fish on a per-year basis on an olive bugger than on anything else, on the order of a thousand or more trout. Then again, I catch that many on a glo bug as well. And could, if I so desired, probably do that on a foam hopper. The hopper would be more fun, I think, but I would have to give up fishing about seven months out of the year.
Oh, wait, I don't HAVE to limit myself to one fly, so I won't.
I'm a "trout only" fly fisherman. I prefer dry fly fishing.
However, if I could only fish one fly year-round, I would have to accept the fact that over 90% of a trout's diet is underwater. So, I would select a nymph pattern which was somewhat representative of the most common insect populations.
This would most probably be a Hare's Ear Nymph in varying sizes.

Interesting color choice. On most my smaller jigs, I use solid black or solid red.
I'm a big fan of bigger chartreuse jigs. I'll have to try the smaller versions.
