On my home water, a spring creek, my go-to fly is the "white fly," a parachute tied with a white thread body, white Antron post, and the lightest cream hackle I can find. Depending on the season, I fish it in sizes #16 to as small as #26. In warm weather, a #14 black deer hair beetle is hard to beat.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02626375101573598265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4293048210991269687.post-90231930873515065822013-03-03T23:35:31.892-05:002013-03-03T23:35:31.892-05:00Even though, like most others, I enjoy the take of...Even though, like most others, I enjoy the take of a surface hitting fish, still my favorite pattern to fish is the Soft Hackle.

If I'm on a lake, with out a doubt the Tungsten Bead Head Thin Mint. Caught more trout (and a Crappie or two) on that streamer than any other.

I got it from the old interweb a long time ago and its been on my computer ever since. I think it was the orvis site but I'm not sure. I should gave credit but I got wrapped up in the post. The drawing on top is all me though.

There is just something about the excitement of seeing an awesome take on top; so with that said I would have to go with my Parachute Adam in 14 and 16 size. I am never on a stream without this fly. Really impressed with the streamer pattern!!<br />Bill Trussellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15351692272817692157noreply@blogger.com
