These patterns imitate the bait fish and other things that these warm water fish are used to feeding on. Choice of fly is dependent in part on time of year, color and area. Other ways of course include talking to other anglers, joining the local Trout Unlimited Chapter and asking the members, and making a stop in the local fly shop.

If you travel, carry lots of different patterns with you, or call ahead to the guide you will be using and ask what you should bring for fly patterns.
