What's your favorite fly patterns (Freshwater and Saltwater), and for what species of fish?

For Trout I love using Elk Hair Caddis Fly's and I have a secret fly no one else knows about.

At the moment i would have to say the hare's Ear. U can tie it with a bead without a bead. with leggs and as a flymph. streamer would have to be a wolly bugger..Have not fished drys enough to have a favorite.

for drys it would have to be a BlueWinged olive because i caught a trout at GVL on a fly rod a few years back (5+ years) also. Streamers, i like the wooley bugger in black. as for nymphs, ive caught a few bluegill on prince nymph.

For surf fishing down in Mexico almost anything thats bright green but one of my favorites is the sardine pattern that the local flyfishing guru in town ties.

the sardine pattern is the fly in my avatar after a little fishing.

Its easy to put pics in a post. Here is what you do. Go to your picture in the gallery, and right click on it. Then, click properties, and there will be a URL link to the picture that will come up. Copy that, and then go to the post and click the little yellow image button above the text box. Paste the url in the space provided, and there you go.

You mean the Snoop Dogg movie - Bones?

Yeah, I can't wait to see sample product from them either; I'm very anxious. You'll probably get some Caledon stuff before you see the Bluewater stuff.
