Top water fly with exceptional results in salt water esturaries. It isn't a popper, but is very sporadic when stripping. The head is foam and body hollow which holds an air pocket until your next cast. As far as I can tell there isn't another fly like this and I haven't come up with a name for it, so open for suggestions

I always have a few in these colors for those finicky PMD hatches. Usually work pretty well in size 16 & 18 for me.

An old pattern which still works today on lochs, lakes and reservoirs. Great for brown and rainbow trout

Great Dry Fly

You can use any colour CDC.

Great mayfly searching pattern. I like using different colors for the thorax mostly because I’m cheap. Parachute Adams in different colors.

It’s not black and white but pretty much the same 🤷‍♂️

Very good nymph for rivers.

Favourite mayfly emerger pattern. The foam really helps it stay afloat and lets you work with heavier body materials, or is perfect when you don’t have poly yarn lol.

Using synthetic peacock quill and the wispy feathers at the base a CDL to create emerger mayfly patterns.

Saltwater inshore fly that mimics small crabs, shrimps, and baitfish. This pattern is tied to mimic blue crabs, a favorite foraging item of redfish and black drum. However, it can be tied in any color way to mimic other crab and shrimp species.
