Trout101: The best thing I can tell you is go to one of your local fly shops and talk to them. They can tell you what works in your neck of the woods. A Prince nymph w/bead ,Hares nymph and any soft hackle flys should work.           Good fishing ><)))))))"> Lou

If U are new to fly fishing learn to cast first.  Or U will lose a lot of flys. Go to Wal mart and get some cheep flys first.  Learn to cast and not pop them off. Then invest in the good ones. Your local shop will be able to help U alot.  Been there.  Thay  can cost alot.  I still use the ones from wm and catch fish.                                                                                                                 Tight lines and bent rods     Life member sence 1991

This is to "trout 101".  I used to live in northern California and fished Nor-Cal and Southern Oregon,(Brookings, Grants Pass, and area).  I found good flies to be Prince, Hairs ear, Phesant tail, and stone flies (black or gold).  Some dries are Black nat, Royal wolfe, Adams, and Renagade.  These all worked for me but I agree, if you dont learn to cast first it can get spendy$$$.  W.M. should have all the flies you need to get sterted.  Good luck.

Hello, Trout101 & welcome to the Forums.  All good advice, here... especially the part about asking for help from a pro shop.  I'd also include relatives or friends of your parents who fly fish as well.  Usually, relatives or friends of the family who fly fish are more than willing to take a neophyte under their wing, & it won't cost you dearly.  About the only other thing I could contribute is a suggestion or two on additional fly patterns besides the ones our fellow Club members above have pointed out:  a Wooly Bugger, an Elk Hair Caddis, a Royal Coachman, a Sculpin, a Black Ant, a Cricket, a Grasshopper & a couple of streamers.  You can get by with just a dozen or so fly patterns (in a few different sizes) for just about all of your fly fishing needs, but don't forget these, or the Hare's Ear Nymph or the Adams suggested by our fellow NAFC members on this thread.  Also, try the other patterns our fellow Club members have pointed out, as well.  I haven't fly fished in awhile, so they're more knowledgable about successful modern fly patterns (all of the ones I've suggested, plus the Hare's Ear & Adams they suggested, are all old-school producers).  Hope I helped you a little.

 

P.S.: To Fish-or-Die & Pigpen:  welcome to the Forums, guys.

Keep the line fresh, the hooks sharp, and have fun fishing. God bless you. -Sonny, Life Member since 2002
