The Carey Special needs no introduction. Fish it as a general attractor streamer near weeds or use it as a Caddis Pupa pattern up in BC when fishing the traveling sedge hatch. This pattern is traditionally a lake anglers staple, representing many things from damsel and dragonfly nymphs, to leeches, minnows and large mayfly nymphs. In recent times it has become one of the most effective large soft hackle patterns for swinging in rivers, where trout absolutely slam it. Size: 6

Same as the Woolly Bugger but with an enticingly colored tungsten beadhead for added weight and attraction. Swing it, strip it - WORKS. The hot head bead can act as an egg-sucking leech imitation if there are fish spawning somewhere in the watershed. In low water conditions of summer and early fall fish can be somewhat skittish. That’s where this fly excels, as it can be fished in any water flow and clarity! Size: 12
