I've had good results with a elk hair caddis, and they go mad with a small marabou leech -l ast week I had a fish a every single cast with it!
How do you fish the Mickey finn, dead drift or down stream and retrieve?

Elk Hair Caddis
In truth my large caddis doubles as a grasshopper. Not much to look at but floats like a cork.

Small leech patterns, Muddlers, and Royal Wulffs all produce really well for me with Brookies.

Streamers- John Barr's Slump Buster
Dries- Elk Hair Caddis or Stimulator
Although I usually pay attention to what is hatching on the stream/lake I am fishing rather than the "favourite" fly

cast upstream or across, dead drift (watching the end of my floating line to see if I have a bite) and then retrieve it back upstream. I find most bites come from the dead drift part. If it's a slow pool I'll cast upstream and retrieve downstream towards me
