With the cold weather keeping me inside recently, I have been tying alot for the coming spring/summer and this got me thinking. I'm curious of anyone ever ties and/or fishes non-common flies (grasshoppers, beetles, ants, nymphs, etc...) and if you had any success with them in the VA/DC/MD area. I know we occasionally get cicada in the spring and I have hear about fly patterns but don't know anyone that uses them. I remember seeing water boatmen/ northern backswimmers as a kid but that was in NY. I have been tying some hairy catapillars recently and last year I tied some mulberry flies (I know its not a bug but same idea). Looking for other ideas of flies that will actually catch a fish and not just look cool in a fly box.
Let me hear your thoughts,
