Favorite Fly Pattern
chamookman:
Caught lots of Steelhead back in the Day with Springs Wiggler Nymph ! Bob
JEB:
We fished the fly stretch of the PM River with the wiggler fly. Took many steelhead with that fly. The largest I caught was 16 #s on 8 pound main line with 4 pound leader. Had to go light because the river was so clear. Didn't have the funds to mount the fish so we ate it. Now you can't keep any fish in that area of the stream.
I use to tie some flies for ice fishing also. Sold all my fly tying stuff so I don't tie anymore. Use to make custom rods also. Still have a handful of Fenwick blanks to make up for the grandkids.

Rob if I remember right we traded a bunch of flies a couple of years ago. There should have been a spring wiggler in that bunch.
My favorite fly and in my opinion, the most versital would have to be the crackelback.
It can be fished in just about every way. You can add some weight to them, put a bead head on and even a tail. And the size and color is pretty much unlimited.
But the fly Ive caught a ton of fish on (trout and blue gill) is a chamois worm. Just cut a silver off of a car chamois and tie it on a #12 hook. Make a couple humps in it and leave it long on both ends. Looks just like a live worm in the water!
