Re: Top 3 Flymphs or spiders?
My top two are:
Partridge and Orange
REE's Madison Cabbage
and I haven't really settled on a third as the above two are the ones I've had the best results with. Everything else is in "the noise".

There were some pictures of the Madison Cabbage on the board but the posters pulled the pictures. It's a sparkley purple dubbing and starling hackle.novabass wrote:What does REE's Madison Cabbage look like?zen leecher wrote: My top two are:

This is not exactly the same, as it uses black hen instead of starling, but it's reasonably close. FWIW, this pattern took the largest brown I caught on the Madison last year.
