"Foam Beetle"

Simple enough.  If it looks like a beetle, acts like a beetle, must be a beetle.  Most productive in stillwater environs.

Fish: trout, panfish

"Foam Spider"
species: spider

sizes: #10 - 16

A standard caddis dry fly pattern.  Hair body and heavy hackle make this a good floater.  Easy fly to impart "flutter" action to, typical of the natural.

Fish: trout, panfish

"Gold Ribbed Hare's Ear"
species: mayfly
type: nymph


sizes: #10 -20

Another "old standard."  This is likely the most-used nymph.  It is suggestive of a variety of mayfly nymphs, but "passes" for other immature insect forms.  Have a range of sizes, shades and styles in this deadly pattern.

Fish: trout, panfish, bass
