I was wondering what ever happened to that little "Top Ten Flies" bit I did earlier this summer. Yesterday I got the e-mail from Phil Monahan, the news editor for Orvis News. It made it to the Orvis Fly Fishing Blog. Take a look. What other patterns would you add to this?

I saw that over there Juan. Nice work. You are the freaking man.

A 6mm egg...er...I mean....
ReplyDeleteI saw your article on the Orvis Blog. Nice work!! I agree with your choices. I fish these patterns regularly. Jerry
ReplyDeleteBen-in this house, yes, but still working on it on the stream.
ReplyDeleteNate-I like 6mm stuff.
Jerry-Thanks for all the kind words over the years. I and others, appreciate it. See you soon!
Patterns that I am not responsible for, in no particular order...
ReplyDelete1) Legit OG style RS-II
2) Barr Emerger
3) Copper John
4) San Juan worm
5) Brassie/Poison Tung
6) Black Beauty
7) Stimulator or foam hopper (cheating, yes I know)
8) peg-egg
9) beatis nymph (du jour)
And, for those who simply must catch fish, no matter the cost...
10) black wooly bugger
If I had the latitude to include them, I am rather partial to Faerie Circus and Wolverines as attractor patterns.

Shaun,
ReplyDeleteGreat list. It's hard to pick just 10, but I could pick and fish them all year long and do just fine. I would hate to, but I could.
