Use the Best Trout

Flyfor the Job

No one fly catches all the fish all the time. Fish, ever whimsical, sometimes refuse to eat on Friday the fly they ate on Tuesday. Fishermen, ever inventive, constantly create new paerns. Tested by time, water, and fish, these are the reliable flies you need.

ZONKER A formed lead-foil underbody acts as a keel, which serves to keep this sexy streamer upright when

stripped and twitched.

BEADHEAD PRINCE NYMPH

Fish this generic nymph under an indicator in fast riffles and

eddies. And hang on!

EGG FLY Not a fly so much as a ball of yarn, salmon egg paerns hook everything from stocked trout to native

steelhead.

HARE’S EAR NYMPH

Weighted or unweighted, these match-all bugs fool

trout in any water.

GRIFFITH’S GNAT When trout are eating super-tiny bugs, it’s hard to beat this

classic midge paern.

BLACK GHOST This classic Maine-born streamer is killer

for trout holding in fast water.

BLUE-WING OLIVE These lile mayflies are ubiquitous on rivers nationwide, and they

hatch almost year-round.

DAVE’S HOPPER

Most people are inclined to pick larger sizes to match big grasshoppers, but the smaller sizes may get

you more strikes.
