yes, Tricos.. will walk miles to get around a Trico hatch.. can't see them, takes me 10min to tie one onto 6x and 30sec to leave it in a tree, then the next one gets ignored for 20min then I have to find another pattern to try.. just no.
I carry a few beadhead nymphs but not sure why, as I scarcely fish them.
Bought a couple big streamers for pike from a fly shop last week, but they are scarcely castable on glass never mind cane. Retiring those to the spin fishing box, they cast pretty well with 4lb line and an ultralight spin rod..
I like streamers but mine are tied scantly with feathers and fur, cast easily.
