[QUOTE="meatGrinder, post: 2704224, member: 20129"] HuntersWorld, In general the idea is to "match the hatch" of the insects that are currently flying at any time on a creek or river. Sometimes trout are very selective and will only key in on flies that resemble what is currently hatching. Other times, they'll take anything that remotely resembles a bug. Those are generally referred to as "attractor" patterns. The Royal Wulff above is an attractor pattern because it isn't trying to match a particular mayfly, it just looks "buggy". Fly-fishing for smallmouths, bluegills, and other warmwater species is a bit different. You're gonna want patterns that resemble crawdads, leeches, frogs, baitfish, etc..... I'm going to try to keep pics posted up as my work progresses. [/QUOTE]
