Whatever's working. I'll take five of those. :-)

More seriously:

parachute adams
simulator
pheasant tail nymph
hare's ear nymph
wooley bugger

If you can't catch fish with those five, you can't catch fish.

Depends on the water, the season and the fish. But considering that I
usually fish for trout, I'd say:

Some upwing jobber
PT Nymph
Skip nymph
Wooly bugger
EHC

How's things up canberra way detoor? Gettin' into them?
Some reports down here that complete duffers were cleaning up in the
Crackenback just after Christmas.

It's been a little hit and missdown in central southern Vic.
The heat wave around New Year buggered things for a while but its been
on the improve since. Seems ot have been
some recent fish kills as well in the Upland streams - most unusual.

We actually had a hopper season on the Goulburn this year - yep: fish
actually seen taking hoppers nats and artificials alike :-) There are
a lot of anglers still wandering the banks with hoppers on ... spooking
fish than they could ever hope to see ... but they've gone off the
hoppers in a lot of places and are on to small smelt.
We seem to be a fortnight to 3 weeks ahead of ourselves.

Stephen,
I haven't been having a very good year at all this year (2006) with the
trout. The rivers are very low and the fish are really spooky. I have
sighted some beauties including a trophy fish but have been unable to entice
them out of their cover. Pre Christmas however was a much different story
with the Thredbo river below the hatchery really causing me to have some
adrenaline attacks mainly using copper and hair nymphs. Lots of grass
hoppers around so if you are coming up this way at all include hopper
patterns, , humpies and stimulators..
