Here are my six. For still waters of course. Let's see how others compare.
1: SA Damsel. A simple damsel nymph imitation that has caught me thousands of fish in several countries. I would also need a few with a gold head.
2: Black epoxy buzzer. There are many colour variations of this but black is the most common.
3: Daiwl Bach - Welsh for little devil. The supreme all round nymph pattern and so easy to tie.
4: Hawthorn Fly. If you haven't got a few of these and the fish are on them you can often blank.
5: Wooly Vugger - a black Woolly Bugger with a fluorescent green Viva style butt. The perfect pulling fly.
6: Invicta: The best of all the traditionals.
It's a very short list of course and it excludes many dry patterns. But the whole idea of the list is about catching fish if you only had 6 patterns.
Let's have yours.
