Best newcomer of the year, a parachute style blue wing olive made with rabbits foot guard hairs dyed dun for tail and wing. Fly that made the fish jump out of the water to grab, there is a tie. A Hendrickson Emerger and a beetle with rubber legs and a metallic body, both got some spectacular takes and some interesting acrobatics. Biggest disappointing fly: foam ant, RS2, shop vac, 6X, Barr's emerger, WD40, rabbits foot emerger and the list goes on.

Fly of the Year
As we approach September and the end of the season, I have a few thoughts on what fly performed the best this year. My nominee for fly of the year is the old reliable pheasant tail nymph! Worked we'll fished in any part of the water column, and in any size. If I had to use only one fly, this is the one!
