Smolt patterns and sculpins were the order of that day. I have been known to cast a DN on the fly rod from time to time though, and yes, they do work well.

The white mr twister tail is quite often the hot fly, uh, I mean lure for spring rainbows. Swing them close to the surface and they look a lot like the smolt the trout (and birds) going nuts on right now. You have to be careful to look up now and then to make sure an artic tern hasn't achieved radar lock though.
