This is my first year of fly fishing. I've read some books about
patterns for trout, and I've talked with local fishermen about some
good patterns. I'm curious if you guys would mind sharing about a few
patterns that are your absolute favorites. Thanks in advance!!!

Doesn't work all the time, but when it does the weather is usually nice, the
fish stirke on top and they are usually bigger.
It works in lakes and streams and is easy to tie.
