Very cool, Bossman. Intriguing that the grand old Adams, or an Adams derivative, is listed 15 times under 'Pattern'. Original or parachute or plagiarized, it is a great fly!!!
Fuck a bead, fuck a dropper, fuck a streamer, and fuck a green weenie!!!

Replied Mr. Humphreys: ''O.K., then lets try nymphs on the bottom in riffles and shallow pocket water!'' ''It was,'' said Mr. Carter, ''like dealing with Congress!'' 'I'm in a Tortured Phase'>
Looks like a #20 Griffins Gnat or Matt's Midge matches the hatch 365.

Don't think I've ever fished once and not seen a midge coming off the water at one point during the day.

Yes sir, that is some hard hitting Hiner flucksam (fuckage and flotsam)right there.
Don't believe I've ever caught a trout on a dry fly. I have caught crappie on dries, and a 2.5 pound bass on a damselfly once.
Wet fly fishing came first. If ain't you fish wets, youins ain't doin it rite.
Dry fly fishing is for posers who have a penchant for standing in 2 centimeters of water with chest waders. At least this is what I imagine. I've never seen anyone fish with a dry fly, lol.

You should come fish with me on Saturday, then.
I catch 80% subsurface, but when they are looking up, it's game on.
Not a bad list. Although I would move yellow sallies up to May and Golden Stones up to June, and keep terrestrials on there into October-November.
They will hit an Adams, Yellow Palmer, Yellow Stimulator, Thunderhead, in some size about any time they look up. At least in the freestone streams around here. They will hit a Tellico or Prince nymph about any time.
I catch the vast majority of my wild, small stream fish on a para adams with a hares ear dropper. I've had a few days where they'll come up out of the deep on larger streams to hit a dry, but I usually start with a nymph rig in those spots.
