Tail end of the Pmd hatch
jimbo wrote:
FWIW, I recently read that Tappley (of Taps Tips fame) conducted an experiment with some of his friends one season, wherein each participant fished "Tap's NearNuff" exclusively, changing only size, and at the end of the season reported the results. The consensus was that using that one pattern all season did not affect their success rate. What does that fly look like? What's the recipe? If I had to use one fly all season (horrible thought!) it would be a PT (or maybe a Skip's Nymph). I suspect that fishing an Adams would have similar results, especially since, as AK Best recently wrote (in Fly Rod and Reel, I believe), there are at least 4,000 variations possible! Agreed, the Adams is the most versatile dry fly. I prefer the parachute style and always carry sizes from #10 to #20. -- Cut "to the chase" for my email address.
