Back home in PA, my three favorite dry flies: #12 Adams, #10 Coffin Fly, #16 Sulphur. Out here in Colorado, the BWO is everybody's go-to fly.
Btw, I've observed ant patterns work well around or under bridges. I suspect ants fall off the bridge and is an easy meal for a hungry trout waiting in the cool shade of the bridge.
Excellent observation, James! I wonder what your top 5 favorite Iceland summer flies will be?!?! ;-) Tim www.troutandfeather.com
Great Video. Brought back memories. The man that taught me to fly fish also taught me to tie an old South Platte fly called the black and silver. Silver mylar (an updated material from the old days), black hackle and tail, both quite sparse. He liked to tie a tiny red whisp of thread at the base of the tail. It would float mostly in the surface film. Absolutely deadly on the Arctic Grayling in Joe Wright Reservoir. Wish I could post a picture. 😁
a foam popper works great too imitating a frog / tadpole

You're so kind, Brian, and thanks so much! If you are able to do an Amazon review, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks again. Link to Amazon: amzn.to/3npwOn3 Tim
Hey Tim, another great video, spent 2 evenings on Spring Creek with Bruce Cox, fish wouldn't take a sulpher on the surface, added some Frogs Fanny and a little tug to pull it under and as they popped back up the fish hammered them.
Hey Robby, good to hear from you. Spring Creek is such an incredible place and it's awesome that you were able to imitate the sulphur emergence, nice work! Tell Bruce I said hi next time you talk. Tim www.troutandfeather.com
Great video. Thanks Tim!
Thanks, Steven, so are you going with Moodah or the BWO?!? ;-) Tim www.troutandfeather.com
Thanks for the video Tim some great tips there. I’ll have to go with the bwo.
David, lots have gone that route, and I can see why...it's a killer pattern! Thanks for the comment and I hope to hear from you on more of my videos. Tim www.troutandfeather.com
Tim, thanks for the great video! I’d select the “BWO Shuttlecock” as my #5 Summertime Fly. I’d also add a LeTort Cricket as my #6 Fly! A great Fly on Mountain Streams!
Great choices, Robert, it's tough to beat a cricket or hopper in so many situations! Thanks for taking a moment to comment. Tim www.troutandfeather.com
That is some good info Tim
I would probably go with the moodah poodah on your 5th fly Thanks for the video and keep them coming 👍
We're on the same page with that one, Dave, thanks for taking a moment to comment! Tim www.troutandfeather.com
Hey just found your channel from CZcamsshorts!! Thanks for the tips and tricks! I subbed and can't wait for more videos!!!
Glad you're enjoying it, I'm guessing you're into fly fishing, too! What species do you typically chase? Tim www.troutandfeather.com
@@TimCammisa Honeslty I started about 3 years ago and started tying 2 years ago! I mainly target about anything that bites! Some bluegills, bass and occasionally a trout... I honestly have gotten quite good at tying but when I record videos, my camera is so bad!😂
Keep the videos going, my early ones are pretty rough, too!
Thank you for the shout out!
Well deserved, Shawn, you have a great podcast!
My favorite dry fly/ dry dropper is grasshopper or cricket with a bead head
Pheasant tail nymph dropper..
Wally, that sounds irresistible! I love the combination, especially knowing the dry fly choice will be enough to hold up that bead head. Thanks for taking a moment to comment. Tim www.troutandfeather.com
Great video Tim ! first I appreciate your recommendation about water temperature and trout fishing…. Wish fishers from my country apply that from themselves…about my summer dry flies ,if I fish in mountains I fish most of the time with caddis …if not then I mostly use midges and ants …. Your Bwo shuttlecock is 👍 best regards from France .Ghjanto
Thanks so much, Ghjanto...and the BWO is a tough one to beat! ;-) Tim www.troutandfeather.com
great video thank you!
Thanks so much! So which fly are you voting on for #5, the BWO or Moodah Poodah?!? ;-) Tim www.troutandfeather.com
I think the moolah poodah. As I'm gathering supplies to tie up a few.
It's a good one, hence why I featured it in my book!
Corn fed caddis is high on my list as well as the GFA hopper
That's a winner...no doubt! CDC always makes things better. Do you fish the Puff Daddy, too? Tim www.troutandfeather.com
@@TimCammisa no but I just looked it up and I’m going to tie some up. It looks awesome!!
In my opinion, there is nothing that speaks better to summer fishing than skating a caddis across a still pool during last light. For that, I use a Goddard Caddis. As an added benefit, they are really fun to tie too - a little challenging but not over the top.
Great fly choice, thanks so much for sharing! What floatant do you prefer to dress your leader with? Thanks! Tim www.troutandfeather.com
Tim, do you have a video on stream thermometers? I noticed you recommend that contactless model from Amazon. Is it accurate? Any tips on using it?
You just can't beat a black ant, and I too prefer the cdc flying ant. All of the flies are great selections, but #1 is #1
We're on the same page there...thanks! Tim www.troutandfeather.com
foam is beast too but cdc more flexable so smaller fish can take it foam gets nibbled but doesnt fit in smaller fishes mouth
definitely chubbies and chernobyl ants need to be on the list
Those are both excellent choices, Joshua, thanks for sharing. It sounds like you're fishing heavier water than me, thus why our choices may differ. I don't fish that ant pattern you mentioned, is there a color you recommend? Thanks! Tim www.troutandfeather.com
Loved the video man, just subscribed🔥!!!
Anyway, i wanted to ask you one question. Next week I'm going to fish in a alpine lake (2000 meters), and i wanted to know if these flies are good for arctic chars. Thank you
Thanks for the subscribe, appreciated! I don't fish alpine lakes much, so tough to say. I have fly fished for Arctic char, thus if they're eating on the surface, throw an emerger first. An X-Caddis would be a great choice. From there, work down, substituting between light and dark flies, something like a Walt's Worm Blowtorch (czcams.com/video/-OxdqrJBJ4s/video.html) or even a Frenchie with a muted thorax (czcams.com/video/zxWcxhJ4LbA/video.html). Let me know how you make out, and good luck! Tim www.troutandfeather.com
Gotta go with the Moolah Poodah, need a hopper.
That's one of my favorites, hence why I included it in my book: www.troutandfeather.com/new-products/fly-tying-for-everyone-book
Thank you for sharing your favorite dry flies of summer. If I may ask, what did you use that day on Spring Creek, and how did you do?
Hi Michael, this video was recorded early summer and I threw a small X-Caddis that sealed the deal when the fish were on top! Here's a link to the fly: czcams.com/video/GyuKmbXhjPI/video.html Thanks for checking! Tim www.troutandfeather.com
I would go with the CDC BWO pattern. But my favorite summer patterns (when temps permit) are Ken's Crazy Ant and Stimulators in various colors. I often swing the Stimmy and let it sink and will often get a strike once it is under water.
Hey, Shorty! That's a great pattern, no doubt. Have you tied and fished the Puff Daddy? It's another killer that would work in that situation. I haven't fished Ken's Crazy Ant and will look into it, thanks. I hope all is going well! Tim www.troutandfeather.com
@@TimCammisa All is well my friend. Our local TU chapter had an Introduction to Fly Fishing event on Saturday and when we took the participants to a local pond to fish, Ken's Crazy Ant was the winner. They are like Bluegill crack!
I watched the video that Tim Flagler put out there...talk about a cool fly!
@@TimCammisa Yes it is. I have that shelf material in different sizes and colors. It can be used for all manner of panfish flies.
Hi Tim
Hi Pierre, thanks for viewing! Tim www.troutandfeather.com
Moodah!!
Hey Pete, I'm kinda leaning that way, too! Tim www.troutandfeather.com
A naturalistic pattern for picky trout that's seen a million Chubby Chernobyls--for me, Schroeder's Parachute Hopper kills it for me and is easy to tie. I've also caught bass with it in Texas, fishing it to rising bass just as if I were dry fly fishing for trout.
Great point, as we have to be aware of the flies used in heavily-pressured waters! Thanks for suggesting it and I'll be sure to check it out. Tim www.troutandfeather.com
Gotta be the Letort cricket or Davie McPhail's Black cricket. Another tuck cast "plopper!"
That tuck cast seals the deal, doesn't it?!? ;-) Tim www.troutandfeather.com
sparkle pupa or X-Caddis
The X-Caddis is more of a dry fly, the Sparkle Pupa is intended as a subsurface emerger. So to answer your question: Both! ;-) Tim www.troutandfeather.com
Bwo with (bwo) trigger point fibers as the wing. Shuttlecock.
Now you're changing things, huh?!? ;-) Thanks, Greg, and I hope all is well! Tim www.troutandfeather.com
Tim Good Luck on the water 👍 🎏 🇺🇸🗽🇺🇸 THE VERMONTER BS
Thanks so much, it's been a good summer so far. I hope the same to you! Tim www.troutandfeather.com
Moodah
I LOVE the Moodah...and think this is my choice, too! Tim www.troutandfeather.com
Be careful of those ticks there
BWO.
Thanks, Warren, that's a great fly! Do you experience a lot of BWO hatches in the summer? Tim www.troutandfeather.com
@@TimCammisa the BWO is very popular in Shenandoah Valley streams starting in March and running through August.
Flies, but no suggested sizes?
Hi Brad, that's a great question! In the description of the video, I lead the viewer to other videos for each of those specific patterns. A discussion can be had for each pattern re: its sizes and I prefer to keep the videos as short as possible. If you have any questions re: a specific pattern and size, let me know: tcammisa@gmail.com Thanks! Tim www.troutandfeather.com
@@TimCammisa Thanks, Tim. I'll check out the other videos.
Bwo
Jeez, this is such a tough choice...the BWO is such a killer fly! Tim www.troutandfeather.com
