Hey Discman! Weclome to the world of fly swatting. There are several patterns that are effective here on the west coast.
Some of my alltime favorites and "Go to" flies would be the Renegade, Wooly Bugger, the San Juan, WD 40 and the Olive Matuka.
Those are generally better for the planted trout, Native LMB and most of the general Sunfish Varieties.
There are other patterns that are good for saltwater if you are interested.
Where are you at on the west coast? Perhaps we can hook up at the Fred Hall Show in March at Long Beach. During that time and season, the flyfishing is good from the shore by the Belmont Pier.
Lots of good sized Barred Surf Perch come around and hit on some of the bigger streamer patterns.[cool]
