First of all let me preface by saying I am a very amature flyfisherman. I love flyfishing, but I haven't spent the time to become truly good.
I search the water with generic patterns that could be several different things. I try to match the hatch as far as size and color if there is a massive hatch coming off that I can figure out.
I would say 90% of the time I start with either a pheasant tail or prince nymph.
Dryflies I almost always start with a royal wolfe, parachute adams or generic elk hair caddis, small streams I go with a renegade.
Streamers I like muddlers or double bunnies. Steelfisher has got me into another streamer but I can't remember the name right now.
