We all have our jinx fly.

For me ( as with Jim Hatch )
It's the wooley bugger.

Does not matter what color ( combo ) or size, unweighted, lead-wrapped, or beadhead/conehead.
Fished dead-drift, or with action, stripped
fast or slow, stop-n-go, upstream, quartered-up, q-down, left hanging - it
doesn't matter.

NEVER caught anything in a lake or steam on one - in fifteen years of Flyfishing.
Yes, of course I continue to try them anyway...
