Since favorite patterns often change throughout the summer, I thought I would make a new survey. Just cut and paste, and write your answer.
A fun way to learn some new patterns to tie in the winter, and have some fun. You can include a favorite surface fly and sinking fly.
largemouth bass: chartreuse/white clouser minnow (size 1)
chartreuse/black bass popper(size 2)
smallmouth bass: Dumbbell olive wooly bugger, with saltwater hook(sz1)
gold/red/black bass popper(size 4)
pike: chartreuse/white/orange (perch) half and half.
popper."any colour seems to work"
crappie:crappie candy. (size 6-8)
charteuse chernobyl ant
muskie: n/a
rainbow trout:size 16 bead head hares ear
cdc/elk caddis(size 18-20)
brown trout:n/a
rusty orange ausable bomber(size 8-14)/cinnamon turks tarantuala(size 8
brook trout:pheasant tail nymph(size 8-18)
n/a
bluegill/rockbass:crappie candy (size 4-10)
foam gurgle-pop
Most people will have the same answers, but hopefully there will be a few new and interesting ones.
