 My version of the parachute ant (my buddy Ray actually gets credit for turning me on to this fly) became my most used dry fly this summer. Over and over I found that it would fool picky trout. From Spring to Fall this is an amazing fly to try along brush lined river and stream banks. In fact, you may be surprised how well this fishes all year round. Many fly anglers forget how important terrestrials are to a trout's diet. The profile of the parachute ants seems to be more effective than regular ant patterns. This is the fly that landed me all those Golden Trout I went after recently. They couldn't get enough. Tie some up and keep a bunch in your fly box.

 The Copper John is a brilliant searching pattern that is still pretty new to the fly fishing world. John Barr invented this nymph a little over a decade ago and because of how productive it is you can't go into a fly shop anywhere in this country and not find one. If you are looking for another nymph that catches trout, the Copper John is another must have.

 Without question, the Parachute Adams is my all time favorite go-to dry fly. The greatest quality of this pattern is that it imitates nothing in particular, yet looks close enough to several mayflies and caddis flies to fool trout consistently. I have used a Parachute Adams during a Blue Wing Olive hatch, a March Brown hatch and a caddis hatch, to name a few. Learn to tie this fly fishing favorite.

The Elk Hair Caddis dry fly is probably the most popular adult caddis fly pattern imitation in fly fishing. This, along with the Adams and the Griffiths gnat, is one of my all time favorite dry flies. These flies have been fooling trout since they were first presented to rising trout. It's a simple fly to tie and it's easy to see on the water. Read on for simple instructions for tying this classic fly pattern. |

 Along with the gold ribbed hares ear, the pheasant tail nymph is one of my favorite flies for fly tying and nymphing. It's also one of the most productive trout flies in fly fishing. Frank Sawyer, an English river keeper, invented this fly pattern more than 60 years ago and used only pheasant tail and copper wire to tie his version of this simple fly, a deadly imitation of the Baetis nymph.
