Although it seems to be the favorite fly of many people, I can’t catch trout on sucker spawn.

The hares ear a pt are my go to 95% of the time. Can't buy a fish with the gree weenie. I think a lot of it is personal confidence in the fly to fish it long enough to get results.

Add me to the list for muddler minnow. And also shocked by those who haven't caught a trout on a woolly bugger, that fly is probably responsible for 20% of my trout every year. I mean there are days where I don't even carry other flies besides that one in different sizes and colors.
Just goes to show the variety of ways people enjoy fly fishing and the variety of techniques that can fool a trout.

This thread almost makes me want to challenge myself. Go take my "worst" fly, or my most off-season fly and deliberately fish it for a day when it shouldn't be as likely to produce. I bet it would help hone my other skills like presentation and approach when fishing with a handicap like that.
a Montana stone never really performed for me.
For whatever reasons, probably because it is too easy to tie, I've not had one in any of my nymph boxes in over forty years.
