3. Black Ghost - the Black, Yellow, and
Whote color combination created
by Herb Welch, is none as the black
ghost. It’s one of the last streamers
of the Maine Fly-tires that were tied
shortly after WWII. This old
streamer is great for big trout and
the occasional big brown trout. Tied
from 2/0 down to a size 6 it is a
trout killer.
4. Zonker - Yes it's an odd Name
Zonker, but once on your line you
can see it will work. This fly will
work both in freshwater and
saltwater. With it’s lead foil
underbody adding some weight the fly will run deep. It’s the rabbit fur tail that attracts the fish for a closer look and taste.
5. Elk Hair Caddis - As a Dry Fly this
is the must have Dry Fly pattern.
Tied in size 10 to 20 you will find
the colors of Tan, Gray, and or
Black. They floated high and
worked best when twitched, then dead-drifted. These flies are great for more than just trout; you can also fish them successfully for Smallmouths and Panfish as well.
With these 5 flies in verious colors and sizes in your fly box you will never be caught off gaurd again.
