Description
Earlier today I released a video where I challenged myself to answer one question:
If I could only fish five trout fly patterns for the rest of my life, which five would they be?
One thing surprised me while putting the list together.
I thought I'd simply choose the flies that catch me the most fish.
Instead, I realized versatility became much more important than specialization.
That's exactly why I chose a Pheasant Tail over a Copper John as my general-purpose nymph.
The full video is available now on YouTube if you'd like to hear the reasoning behind the rest of my five-fly box.
Hooks I use: Risen Fly. Most of the tying materials I use come from J. Stockard. Both have been great to work with and I genuinely recommend checking them out if you tie your own flies.
