"Unacceptable" fly swap
I really enjoyed grand poobah JC's recent article on "Unacceptable" fly patterns: http://flyanglersonline.com/cst/cst060908.php
And especially enjoyed the fact that he asked the questions....and left the answers to the reader!
My first choice is always a dry fly, but that doesn't always excite the fish. Then it's the nymphs and streamers, but again they don't always work either. So deep in my bag of tricks, where they are unlikely to be discovered by 'purists,' lurk some pretty interesting--and sometimes very effective--flies. (ummm...lures?)
So bring 'em on -- your dirty little secrets. Flesh flies, egg patterns, worm patterns, 'pistol pete' style flies with propellors, flies that drag tiny spoons, trout pellet patterns, spun deer hair cheetos......you can remain anonymous, remember, by forging your toe tags. I promise I won't tell.
