I just got some of my old tying bench materials out of storage and started to tie up a few flies to clear the cobwebs and get the rust off.

And it dawned on me...I can tie Woolly Buggers all day long. I just seem to have nailed that pattern with the right recipe.

It doesn't matter the size - I like tying them and they always turn out great. Whenever I know I'm going to be tying for a bit - I start with a few of them as kind of a "warm-up".

So what about you? What's your favorite pattern to tie?

Do you prefer drys, nymphs, streamers or what?

FYI - I also like tying micro-sized flies. I even tied a sz 32 griffith's gnat once just to see if I could do it. And I could.
