Australia Posts: 6	A perfectly timed thread! I have been scowering my available resources of late to find a selection of flies that I might be able to put together before I get out to a stream to flick my first fly around. Although I am sure some of the flies mentioned will require a little more effort to use correctly for a beginner, though I will be monitoring this thread intently! Joel.

Moderator Palmyra PA Posts: 1724	Hey Shawn, I think the viagra caddis is for those who have a curly worm that needs to be straightened out. (Taxon, now there's nothing naughty here: Shawn has a weenie fly of his own design, the C.W.)

Moderator Pleasant Gap, PA Posts: 1109	Well said, Louis, though I resent your reducing my Curly Worm to a limp Sinking Inchworm - that caused a droop in my attitude, so to speak. -Shawn

Moderator Palmyra PA Posts: 1724	Couldn't resist the joke, Shawn. Head out to catch a few browns and bows in the spot we discussed--that'll bring your spirits right back up.

Moderator Pleasant Gap, PA Posts: 1109	I didn't mean precisely that my spirits were down, but I suppose that is a necessary consequence... Nevertheless, I will try to follow your sage advice. I'll let my wife read your suggestion. You are a doctor, aren't you, Louis? -Shawn

Moderator Palmyra PA Posts: 1724	Yes I am Shawn, and that's my prescription. You may even tell your wife that it's a medical emergency and you must follow Dr.'s orders or suffer dire consequences. Now, for my 6 flies to bring this thread back in line: Elkhair Caddis Adams Irresistible Foam Beetle Beadhead Walt's Worm (or Hairy Honeybug) Sinking Inchworm (honeybug or not) Muskrat cress bug I assume from the challenge post that there's no floatant, hence this choice for dries.

York & Starlight PA Posts: 835	Baetis89, It is said that those crooked #2 worm hooks can really cause damage to trout because of the hook geometry. I stopped using them years ago base on reading about how some trout were impaled so deeply that they were bledding profuselty. Hopefully your comment is meant to be amusing and you aren't out there singlehandedly decimating the MT wild trout poulation with your snag hooks.

Oscoda, MI Posts: 1120	Best six of my entire life, not necessarily in order: 1)Elk-hair caddis; 2)White Wulff; 3)Royal Wulff; 4)Adams; 5)Woolly Bugger; 6)Killer Bass Fly. These are my six go-to flies, cold waters or warm waters. There's my 2 cents worth. Jonathon
	No matter how big the one you just caught is, there's always a bigger one out there somewhere...

	They fasten red (crimson red) wool around a hook, and fix onto the wool two feathers which grow under a cock’s wattles, and which in colour are like wax. Radcliffe's Fishing from the Earliest Times,
