Mercury Midge | Small but Mighty
The Mercury Glass bead always seems to be more productive than a standard midge. The glass bead mimics a gas bubble that insects use to emerge and trout love emerging insects because they are most vulnerable.

Mercury Flashback Pheasant Tail | A tried and true pattern that mimics a plethora of aquatic insects
I have been fishing this fly in a size 18 or 20 as my second fly and it’s caught almost every fish I’ve landed in the last few weeks, even had to lend my dad a few when he wasn’t getting bites and it instantly lead to a fish on his second cast!

Jujubaetis | A Staple All Year
I do fish this fly all year long but as BWO season starts to take off I HIGHLY recommend stocking up on some Jujubaetises! Spring is the best time to fish this fly & with its slim profile, “wings” that push the water and and a little flash, it grabs the attention of even the pickiest fish
