The fourth and final video in our series on getting started in fly fishing is all about the flies you’ll use to catch fish. As you continue on your fly-fishing journey, your collection will surely expand to include dozens more fly patterns, but these six are a strong base from which to begin and will catch a wide variety of game fish. Good luck!
The List:
Pheasant-Tail Nymph
Hare’s-Ear Nymph
Parachute Adams
Elk-Hair Caddis
Woolly Bugger
Clouser Minnow

Everyone’s list would be different of course but that list is a great place to start if you don’t already have some confidence flies.
Please post some original content. I’m tired of the same recycled tropes. Give us some new articles, flies, or thoughts.
Baron I’ve found that 1 fly I make sure I have is the Pink Squirrel! It’s a wet fly and it work’s every where I’ve ever fished!
