About 90% of the time I throw an Olive Clouser or similar fly, the #8 Clouser being my standby, and the maribou Clouser being used more this year just for kicks. I use red lead eyes on all my Clousers and tie them with white underbelly, a few strands of pearl crystal flash extending just past the maribou or bucktail and topped with olive.
My new starter fly is an olive Jiggy since I got tired of busting the lead eyes off on rocks on the beach with the Clousers. This is tied much like the Clousers except I use a top of MOP Root Beer Gliss n, Glow over the olive bucktail. I also use red stick-on eyes on the Jiggy and found some great tungsten cones for the head. The other 10% of the time I toss one of Leland's poppers, usually in white.
