| GRAYLING. MICHIGAN Posts: 278 | This post reminds me of when I first worked in a fly shop many years ago. We would sit tying in a spot visible through the front window. When the Hex hatch started, we received myriad requests for custom tying accompanied nearly always with the admonition "please don't show this pattern to anyone else." I can only assume all these guys were catching nice fish on their favorite Hex pattern. Which of these is the "best fly" for that hatch? | |

 | Now i never said the bugger was my favorite fly to throw but its the one fly that can ALWAYS get the job done. It might be a little cliche to say but you simple can't have a complete box without it no matter what the species your fishing for, especially trout! | |

 Posts: 2611 | You know, folks, in an era when there are literally tens of thousands of fly patterns, if not more, available to the fly fisherman, plus the fact that there are at least several million (if not more) fly fisherman (including fisherWOMEN) in this world, this question is really POINTLESS... Gonzo said it best: it's the one at the end of your line that you're catching fish on right now. SO BE IT! Jonathon | |
| No matter how big the one you just caught is, there's always a bigger one out there somewhere... | ||
