Since we are in the northern hemisphere, the eddies spin the opposite direction so those Aussie patterns would never work.

Surprised no one mentioned zonkers.

They are still very popular. They just call them by different names now.

I use a lot of zonkers (both rabbit and squirrel). Easy to tie. Like the white death I like them in gold, black, etc. So easy to tie and lots of action!

Or Montreal Whore.

Off color fly names are nothing new.

Troutbert: Are you sure "Parmachenee Belle" isn't code for something dirty?

I'm not sure. We can always imagine that is.

 

[krayfish2]

I am absolutely dumbfounded that the carpet fly has not made this list

 

[Prospector]

I’m definitely not very hip. I’ve not heard of those racy steamer names.

My top 5

Yellow Maribou
White Zonker
Spruce Fly
Black Matuka
Spring Gobbler Fly (my concoction)

Also
Olive Wooly bugger (if you consider it a streamer)

Thanks everyone! Awesome thread. I am already buying materials and watching youtube videos. Amazing how many variants of the wooly bugger came up...I like the fact that most of these can target multi-species and am looking forward to SMB as well. Great thread!

 

[Bogey]

BTW, watch out when you google "Sex Dungeon"...
