I love size #12 Gurgle Pops on top in white, yellow, chartreuse and olive. When I have to go deeper, I like soft hackles (both weighted and unweighted) in sizes #10 and #12. Peacock and brown, white chenille and white hen hackle, yellow chenille and yellow hen hackle are my go to flies. I sometimes change the chenille for dubbed bodies of hare's ear or even Hedron Flashabou Dubbing. The Flashabou dubbing really adds sparkle and visability. Soft hackles are great! 8T
