I know everyone works hard on the flyswaps, and I appreciate all of the
work. Tyers, Swapmeisters, Photographers and Webpage managers all have
done some incredible jobs. One thing I would like to ask, what are your
three most productive flies that you've copied from the swaps? I will
start with these three:
Pass Lake - Wolfgang
Mini Brown - Peter Charles
CDC & Elk - Herman Nijland

Willi's emerger is by far and away the most productive.
I also copied Tom Littleton's version of the Usual and
it's been productive too.

Willi's emerger is a deadly small fly,
Petah's little streamer(looked like a variation of a Professor) has worked on a
couple of trips very well.

The wild rainbows in my tiny local stream are wild about 'em, and the late
summer goldens at 11,500' also think they're swell. Danl's Little Brown
Streamer is one of my go-to flies in the waters I fish, and there are always
a couple in my box. Another plus: I can actually tie this one!

Cheers,
Bill

Although they were all in a swap (I believe - my memory sucks) am not
sure if I started using them after the swap or before from either a
posting or fishing with the guys, but here's mine:

Charlie Wilson's Fluorescent Orange Stimulator
Bruiser's Foamback Emerger
Tom Littleton's Usual mainly because it led me to use, with Tom's help,
Snowshoe Hare's hair for other patterns

There does seem to be something special with Danl's streamer. I've been
with him on several occasions where he has pulled fish out of an area
that had just been pounded on that fly. I need to have more confidence
in streamers and try them more often.

I'd have to second that Little Brown Streamer. I've caught several trout on
that when other flies yielded nothing.

I seem to remember you. Aren't you from North Cakalaky?
