Big and dry.

Favorite is the orange stimulator.
Although I have a new one that is gaining ground!

All my bigger cutties come when I chuck nymphs. I get a ton of smaller ones on dries.

I chuck nymphs quite a bit more then dries now for them.

the cutty candy is actually a fly itself. The turks was never named that.

this is a good fly, but like dustin said, the turks is a pretty good one.

One of my best is the Chernobyl Ant. Carried the stupid thing for years then one day on the Livingstone I tied it on and took big cutts all day from every pool. Cuttthroat Candy (SFOTF) version is also a great pattern. On lakes, most drys will work but the one I use the most is a Tom Thumb. Cutts are always looking up it seems. Rick.
