Six Flies


 Like many fly fishers, I have several fly boxes stuffed with an assortment of flies...something for most situations on the streams I frequent. Truth is however, I could load just six flies in a tiny fly box, stuff it in my shirt pocket, and go catch trout on any of my home waters. After a few years of fishing these streams, it's routine to tie one these flies on a 6x tippet, knowing there will be a tight line soon...well, most days.

  • Black Royal Wulff
  • Parachute Adams
  • Beadhead Hares Ear Nymph
  • Crystal Rubber Leg Stimulator
  • Elk Hair Caddis
  • Olive Stimulator

That black Wulff dry fly is actually for one particular stream that I fish even though I have caught many trout with it on most of my home waters. And, to be honest, any black dry fly would work on that particular stream. Land a black fly on the surface of this stream and watched a trout make a wake from the opposite bank to take the fly. Fun!

    1. A park ranger gave me the tip of using black on a certain stream...I'll send you the name of the stream by email.
