Here is what i call my catchem flymph. It is hands down one of my best producing flymphs i use in the spring straight through the season.
It's a spin off from a hare's ear softy or flymph. But using the u.v. high test dubbing blend along with the rusty Montana fly co midge body thread in combination with the rusty orangutan ice fur and dark partridge.
This fly is fine tuned, meaning each element adds to the fly patterns effectiveness. I have tied many different combination of this fly pattern. But this combination is the
the golden ticket.
If this fly is on my line in a cast of wets, I always know what fly the trout took as soon as they strike. I havnt really spoke about this fly here on the corner, as its been a little secret of mine.
Even if you dont fish wets, this fly can be fished dead drift on the bottom and it produces wonderfully. From bottom to top, the catchem does what the name says.
Now lets twist one up already!

Here are the baetis aka blue wing olives, from yesterday when I was on
the water. I am sure they were out by the hundreds on this rainy day. I
will try and get some photos of the spinners this week if I am lucky
enough to be there when they come back. The flies were a good size 16
and easy to spot on the water. Always enjoy watching a mayfly track down
and into the mouth of a rising trout. Be sure to note that the males
are not olive. They are more grey and tan with a almost black thorax.
The females are a deep olive. 
Here is slight variation of the Quigley cripple mayfly. This is the way I like to tie them. I use snowshoe hair, usually dun or some shade of grey, but sometimes I use white as well. The post doesn't matter much other than for visibility. The original calls for deer hair but I don't care much for having to use deer hair, and the snowshoe dries easily. Where as the deer hair becomes water logged and then the pattern is screwed.
