    Lately it's been parachute hare's ear in size 14, but I also hammered a lot of fish on a Hippie Stomper while in Colorado the last week.

    I have 3: your elk hair caddis, parachute adams in 14 & 16, hopper in 12 & 14. Those are for the sierras and have worked for me for years.

    I'll sprinkle in a royal humpy, some other stuff, but if I had to limit myself to 3 it would be those 3 for sure.

    Especially when fishing with friends I like to use what I call a sunken ant. It is apattern I developed. Basically I tie a ant pattern on a hook an tie a parachute with a long post so that the ant is just under the water column. Ha sent failed me yet. Not sure if that qualifies as a dry pattern.
