So the techniques for dry fly selection are quite simular to nymphing and using wet flys then. And I am now looking into joining one of the local tying clubs as they meet at the legion near my place. I was just reading up on them before I popped online. Also, I have attached a link that leads to...

Thank you for the reply. Is there a particular brand of floatant that you would remomend?

Does any of you have tips on tying dry flies and how best to select and present your choice of dry fly? I would say that I am at the intermediate stage of tying wet flies, nymphs, and of course streamers. However, I would like to get into dry fly fishing as well. Thank you and great fishing!

Nice collection of catches.... :) and topwater pike are quite explosive aren't they..! Take care and great fishing!

Thank you, and that is a good part of why I started this thread.. cheers :)

Thank you for the reply and the tips. Take care and great fishin'!

I've a caught a couple out of the mouth in the past when going for salmon. But I don't very often get up there to effectively survey the fish cycles.

Muddy river, but sweet fishin with the fly.... Two Walleyes in under an hour.... :)

Very true, and quite fun the colour of Chrome :grin: Thanks for the reply, take care and great fishin'!

What fish have you caught on the fly and what was\is your favorite/most productive fly to use for them? I have caught: Small/Largemouth Bass (Marabu Leach\Muddler Minnow), Freshwater Drum (Eggsucking Leach), Carp (White Boobie\Hares...

What? Nobody fishes the Maitland in the Fall? At least one of you must fish Goderich often enough in the Fall to be able to answer my question.

This isn't a very good example of it, however this is the general idea. When I tie some better ones up I will post them.

First, Thank you for the reply and I've had success with split Marabu tails as well, and I have also caught Bass and few trout (Mainly Browns) using wooly bugger variants. The other day I managed to catch a couple of Walleye on the deer hair /broad hackle tips claw pattern that I came up with...

Does anyone have a productive Crayfish pattern they are willing to share?

Good day all, Does anyone know if there is a decent run of Brown Trout in the fall on the Maitland?
