One Fly Choice

Black wooly bugger with grizzly hackle in #12

hares ear old fashioned wet fly

REE,

I think that is the nymph version of the DuPont Lure where Lew was using the dry version.

You have to be careful not to damage your rod by hitting it with those dupont flies. They will cause more damage than your average beadhead nymph.

My personal choice would be similar to Lew’s Dupont. I call mine the Dynafly.

If I can’t use this I would go with the pheasant tail nymph-with or without the beadhead.

I would probably go with Greenwell’s Glory, and fret horribly about all the other flies I would then think I should have used!

Can you imagine hanging one of those in your hat, or your ear, or the back of your head.
For use at most any time of year, I’d have to go with a soft hackle in different configurations and various sizes. Maybe something meatier in the fall. In the winter, I’ll cheer from the truck.

An Elk Hair Caddis. The EHC can be fished dead-drift, twitched and skittered, trimmed down to an emerger or a nymph…or pulled under and retrieved as a streamer.

I’d throw a pheasant tail soft hackle (no bead) in 12 or 14

8 Carter’s Bug no bout a doubt it LOL

#12 Adams, if they don’t what it dry fly style you can always fold the wings down and get it to sink, that’s worked for me too, Kinda like having two choices

The CK Nymph has caught warmwater fish and trout for me, so I guess I would pick that one.

The one on the RIGHT:

The one on the left ain’t too shabby either…

I do not fish as often as most of you nor do I fish as often as I would like. I have always had luck with a simple ant pattern when all else seems to fail. I always have them in my fly box and have caught fish in a variety of settings. Plus, they are easy to tie.

Very nice! And, how was the wine?

I would fish a size #18 gold bead-head caddis with a dark gray dubbed body and a few matching gray hackles tied in behind the bead. Nothing fancy but it works for me! 8T :slight_smile:

I have cheese with my whine these days…

PT #12 with wire for thread.
