1. Chirony nymphs...I really like tying a "flashback" variety, with a strip or two of flashabou under the ribbing for glitter. A tie for first this time of year is a #16 parachute adams...gotta love that evening bite...
2. Ooh them wooley buggers...I'll take a dozen, please, in a variety of colors and weights, some with beadheads...
3. Gotta have a few muddlers on me--in various sizes and weights, both for swimming and skating. Vital in those lakes supporting fathead minnows!
