I prefer seal buggers (Denny Rickards pattern)

I like Olive/burnt orange hackle in clear water, black/purple hackle in off color water. This fly is tied with seal or fake seal body. It has natural movement even when it is at rest/falling. I've taken more large trout (over 5lbs) on these two patterns fished with an intermediate line than all my other patterns combined. My largest trout is 16.5 pounds taken and released with the olive and orange.
