Nymphs
Probably the most consistent fish-getters on a day-to-day basis.
$2.50/each unless specified otherwise
Big Trout Only
Popular nymph in the Baxter State Park region and Aroostoook County trout ponds. Fish it slowly on a sinking line. Size #6
Big Trout Only - Salamander
A change up that sometimes produces when the Big Trout Only isn't. Size #6
Bird's Nest
For most people the old reliable Hare's Ear or Pheasant Tail is their go-to nymph(and either is a great choice). Me, I'll tie on Cal Bird's fly. This is an outstanding pond nymph or caddis pupae. Tan or Olive. ***I AM NOW OFFERING CAL'S SPECTRAL BIRD'S NEST TIED WITH REAL SEAL FUR FOR $2.75.
Cased Caddis
Charles E. Brooks imitation that is tied using skunk tail for the body. I won't promise it will keep the skunk off you fishing but it does work really well! I use it in waters where the caddis use pebbles to build thier cases. For stick case builders I use the Peeking Caddis pattern. Weighted.
Dragonfly Muddler
This pattern is from the late Eddie Reif of Eddie's Flies & Tackle. The first fly I'll start fishing in the spring on Maine ponds is a dragonfly nymph on a sinking line. Weighted. $2.75
Dredge Bug
Gotta love those dragonfly nymphs on ponds! This is a good fly for fishing spring holes.Weighted. $2.75
Floating Dragon
Designed to be fished on a sinking line so it hovers, crawl it towards shore or over/around weed beds. Sizes #6-8, $3.50
Gartside's Sparrow - Hexagenia
My version of Jack Gartside's Sparrow nymph is a solid producer when fished before or during Hexagenia hatches. I'll fish it on a sinking or sink-tip line with slow pulls to imitate the swimming nymph. Size #6, $2.75
Halfback
An excellent generic stillwater nymph for searching, I think it covers the damsel and possibly even dragon nymphs. I like sizes #10 or #8 best.
Ian's Brass Ass
Jungle Cock Dragon Nymph
Tied with either an original Olive, Olive/Brown(Pictured), or Peacock/Brown variegated body. Sizes 6-10, Weighted.
Maple Syrup
You can not get any more "Maine" than Alvin Theriault's go-to fly. It should be a standard in any pond arsenal you plan on putting together. Weighted, size #8-10.
Maple Syrup - Red Tail
This is becoming a very popular version of the original. Generally just referred to as a "Red Tail". Tied with a tungsten bead. Size #8
Mercury Midge
This simple fly is a landlock killer. This fly is tied a bit differently than others under the same name. Size #16-20
Molasses
It's not Maple Syrup, it's Molasses! Size #8, Weighted
Otter Nymph
This forgotten classic is a simple old nymph yet it fools an awful lot of brook trout for me. The fish on the upper Magalloway regions will testify to that! Makes a good dropper fly fished with a dry.
Peeking Caddis
I love to fish this cased caddis as a point fly in a tandem nymph rig in moving water. Weighted, size #8-12.
Rainbow Warrior
RS-2
Sizes #16-22
Sawyer's Killer Bug
The other fly from the creator of the classic Pheasant Tail, this nymph has a definite cult following. A very simple and effective fly and an excellent representation of the Glossosoma caddis or scuds.
Strawman
Cased caddis imitation tied using spun and clipped deer hair. A favorite on the Rapid river.
Sucker Spawn
At the right time and in the right place this fly can be poison! Size #16
Teeny Nymph
Available in Natural, Green, Black, Yellow, or Orange.
$3 Dip
A standard in Montana it's good everywhere.
20 Incher
Great stonefly nymph! Tungsten bead head, sizes #8-12 $2.75
Twist Nymph
Gary LaFontaine's stillwater generic nymph.
Waldo Worm
A very popular nymph for use on the Rapid River. This green caddis larvae accounts for a lot of fish each year. I recommend going with the smaller sizes, however. (#16-20)
WD-40
Great Blue Wing Olive nymph/emerger!
