In the world, there are literally thousands of different dry fly patterns. Only a handful of fly fishers having even heard of them, some are well known, some are very obscure.
Only a few have been universally successful although all have caught fish as per white river fly guide. So, here of all time - the top ten deadliest dry flies are!
Spent Mayfly
The Spent Mayfly is over 100 years old and is the classic spinner pattern. Why it is still popular today, there is a very good reason - it works!
Black Gnat
Early in the season when there are few flies hatching is at its best although The Black Gnat is deadly all year round.
Balloon Caddis
Catch returns speak for themselves but an unusual entry.
CDC Mayfly
A modern variation on the classic patterns is the most effective of the Mayfly patterns. As compared to the other entire Mayfly patterns put together, this dry fly probably catches more fish Used in early June and late May. The trout fishing in the white river in Arkansas is a great fun!
Olive Dun
Representing a great number of upwing fly duns, it is a generic pattern. All year round, it is Deadly.
Gold Ribbed Hare's Ear
Great fly, great name! In the spring, it is most effective and can be used all year round. To grayling and trout, it seems to be attractive but unique scruffy pattern is unmissable.
Para Adams: According to my catch returns, it is the best pattern by some margin. The Para Adams comes in the full range of hook sizes and is generic. Allowing even the heaviest handed caster to present the fly in a delicate manner, the parachute is pattern.
To represent a Mayfly, a size 10 is used sometimes but in the summer, most often use sizes 14-18 to imitate olive flies. You are lowering your chances of success, If you don't have this pattern in your fly box.
