McFly Angler

I only had an hour to fish before teaching a fly fishing class, so I had to pick the right fly.

At this spot, I figured a Near Nuff Crayfish would be a great choice.

Just a few weeks earlier, I had hooked into a really nice bass on this same fly, so I had a pretty good feeling it would work here too.

And sure enough... It did.

Of course, what fly you start with will depend entirely on the conditions and the specific water you're fishing.

So I'm curious... What's the first fly you tie on when you arrive at a new river or lake?
