    Dry Fly, just love watching the take..... Catch about 5 times more fish on soft hackles but when the fish are taking dries life is good.

    A dry fly. I enjoy the feel of casting it and seeing how close and delicately I can alight it to where I wish it to be.
    Plus the take of a trout to a dry is exhilirating to me, especially when sight fishing. No other manner of fishing approaches it, in my opinion.
    When you can arrange your affairs to go fishing, forget all the signs, homilies, advice and folklore. JUST GO.

    The most successful in its moment. I fish dries, wets, softs, nymphs, streamers, etc.

    Dry fly. I just like to watch it do it's job and it is a bonus when I get to see the fish take a pass at it.

    Nymph. I seem to catch more fish with them than anything else.

    For the freestone rivers and streams in the Intermountain West and Northern Rockies, FEB dry flies bring up the fishies from March / April ( skwalas ), through the spring ( salmonflies ), into summer ( golden stones and hoppers ), and on into fall ( October caddis ). Throw in a handful of midge, caddis, mayfly, and drake dries and you're good to go.

    Fishing to rising fish and sight fishing with dries are just dandy, but I do really enjoy fishing the water with dries. The challenge of finding good holding water, reading it, and bringing up the fishies, especially when you can consistently see them many feet from the fly before they hit it, is tough to beat.

    The fish are always right.

    I like dries for the same reason as most, the take. I fish a lot of EHC, but my favorite is the Calftail Hairwing Royal Coachman. They're are cool looking, easy to see and most of all, they work wonders.

    Dries for sure

    I'm not about numbers, size of the fish, nothing like that. It's all about the take.....

    Big gurgler. Nothing like a big fat snook exploding on a surface fly.
