Yes, i fish for carp with them. Haven't had success yet this year, though. Water is too high and off color.

This thread definitely needs some photos and dressings.

Borcher's sz 14 is tops on my list, man the fish cannot resist it when the right hatch is on. I have a box of them. Your list looks pretty close to mine so I will spare the details.

i wish mine were sexier, but that's just the way it is. i used to carry way more dry flies, but these just seem to do the trick.

The Carl's Foam Flying Ant is a pattern from Umpqua that I kill them with at a spring fed pond up by Leadville CO. If i could add one more it would be a #20 Parachute BWO.

As you can see, I generally hike to where trout are not too selective.
My philosophy is "Hmmm they seem pretty picky today and the #10 stimulator won't work...better go down to a 12."

I've even gotten to where I only buy a few types of flies and I buy them by the dozen. If I can't catch anything with those dozen or so... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (paveglass) http://fiberglassflyrodders.yuku.com/sreply/71329 Sun, 14 Jun 2009 21:21:56 GMT http://fiberglassflyrodders.yuku.com/reply/71326/t/Top-5-Dries.html#reply-71326 Tan Elk Hair Caddis

18 olive elk hair caddis
16 ginger bi-visible-the bomb for fast water IMHO
14 dark hendrickson
