This high floating, easily visible terrestrial fly doubles as a cricket or dark colored hopper. Trout love both!

View full detailsFish a cricket dry fly by throwing the fly hard at the water, so it splashes, just like the natural would when it fell, or was blow onto the rivers surface. Try drifting it, and if this doesn't work, strip the fly, adding a motion like the cricket would if it were kicking at the water.

View full detailsSimplicity, there's something to be said about simple bugs...they work, and work well. The Cousin It is a perfect example of a simple fly. Designing a simple fly is often far more difficult to do well than intricate patterns. Stripping away all but the necessary atributes, Chris Schrantz designed a pattern that resembles Hoppers, Stoneflies and many terrestrial insects based on how the fly presents itself. This guide fly floats all day, suspends droppers like the Micro Golden Stone with ease, and is a fantastic small mountain stream attractor pattern.

View full detailsAnother brilliant pattern from the vise of Mr Egan. This is not a subtle fly and is packed full of high-floating CDC fibers for both the wing and the hackle. As with other CDC flies, best to use a floatant like Loon Lochsa, Loon Top Ride, or Frog's Fanny.
This variety of Sulphur makes for a very realistic looking mayfly. Trout can't tell the difference!

The comparadun style of fly offers a different look to trout. For selective feeders, different looks are absolutely necessary.
