FLYMPH FORUM

If you were to list your top 3 favorite flymph or spider patterns, what would they be?

Hey Paul, nice to see you back on here again!

In no particular order:
1. Partridge and Hare's Ear
2. Stewart's Black spider
3. Partridge and Orange

Greenwell's Glory was tough to leave out.

What three do you prefer?

Partridge and Yellow, March Brown Flymph, Iron Blue Wingless in the order fish are taking them.

This would be my exact list as well. In addition I would never go without a sulphur flymph/softie.

Favorite r

1. Muskrat
2.Ice Breaker
3. Orange Muskrat


Most productive the past year

1. Peacock & Partridge
2. Ice Breaker
3. March Brown variations (Partridge or Hen hackle)

1. Sulfur flymph
2. March brown flymph
3. Orange Fish Hawk spider

1. Pheasant tail with copper rib and peacock thorax
2. Leisenring black gnat with crow quill body
3. Some form of Hare's Ear

1) Partridge & Orange
2) March Brown Flymph
3) (I can't make up my mind: Either a Pheasant Tail soft hackle or a Grouse & Herl)

1. Baillie's Black Spider. This in a size 14 tied on a Daiichi 1640 has taken more fish for me than any other single fly.

2. Orange and Partridge. Tied with Pearsall's 6A. Prevailing water conditions dictate whether or not a thorax is needed. I've never ribbed mine with anything. I really like these dressed on a Ken Sawada wet fly hook sizes 12 and 14.

3. PMD Flymph. This is one I developed after doing a bit of reading and mashed together information from several great fly dressers. It, along with the Baillie's Black Spider has saved my day more than once, even when there is no PMD activity.

Hard to leave out the Madison Cabbage and the Squirrel Flymph in gray.

Mine would be:

Partridge and Orange.
Red Hackle Peacock.
Cinder Fade. (this is one of my own)
