MAINE - Life in the Slow Lane
Easy choice for me.
Silver doctor
Queen of the water
Small buck bug
Good question . For stream fishing I have to go with my CDC emerger . Adams dry . Pheasant Tail . But if I could ever learn to tie then right I would like the wood duck heron as well.
Mine would be:
Muddler Minnow
Pheasant Tail Nymph
and
Adams Irresistible

Interesting Lee, two spun hair flies in your line up. A good indicator that you don't tie your own. I hate clipping deer hair, especially those little Adams Irresistables!
intersting pattern developing here, nymph, dry, streamer no one choosing wets or terrestrials.....
Kbone
After the first couple of thousand it gets easier,and repeticious....
Keeping in mind that I do not normally go any smaller than #10.
My selection of a Silver doctor is a wet fly pattern
silver body, red butt, Tippet tail,,,strips of red, yellow, blue goose cussets
married together with mallard veiling...Again size 10 or 12..Depending on the
eyes that day.
I just gave the wood duck heron fly a try last year. It worked but I'm still learning. I think I'd go with:
hares ear
adams dry Catskills style
Muddler minnow
Bead head caddis would be a tie with one of the three.
CDC tan caddis,
red quill dry
BH hydropsychidae
Funny i almost went with the CDC emerger and the hydro, then again I was going to go with the Usual as well....so if you could only have two dozen flies.....
LOL, CDC rules, it's so versatile...I use it for most of my dry flies.
Stealing this one from a book, still a fun topic.
If you were limited to only three flies to catch trout for the rest of your life what woud they be?
mine are:
Wood duck heron
Hares ear nymph
Humpty
