I am tying myself a bunch of nymphs for trout <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />and I was wondering what are the best.

Riley, there must be a typo there, it says you're tying nymphs??????

Did you get the point of wet flies, or are you just gonna sell 'em? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

A guy could tie a variety of sizes/colors/weights of pheasant tail nymphs and be in the ballpark on most trout water in my neck of the woods. One of the many peacock-bodied patterns, (Zug Bug, Prince, etc.) can be deadly. Peacock seems to be like a magnet to trout.

I almost always have a bead-head nymph of some sort tied on my leader. I have even been accused of trying to get enough floatant on a bead-head to fish it dry, but that was a lie! My fly box would definitely not float if it went overboard, due to the number of beads inside.<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
