{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Warmwater Fly Recommendations

Having grown up in the area and been fishing warm water my whole life, I've got a few favorites. In no particular order

• 1" long Clouser
• 4" long Clouser
  
• 4x long popsicle (catches the biggest channel cats)
  
• Rubber wormie
• Size 10 scud hook damsel nymph
• Slider (not a fan of poppers) BIG fan of the Boogle bugs. Jeff wasn't kidding about his collection. :jealous
• Hellgrammite
• 1" shad dart
  
• Any generic bead head nymph with a flash back and soft hackle
• 3/4" foam hopper

Thats what I'll carry with me on an average day depending on the species. Today I fished wormies, egg sucking leeches, eggs, and a flash back hares ear. The worm was the only thing that moved fish. The damsel is by far the greatest producer of fish be it size, quantity, or diversity.

I've a good selection of nymphs, wet and dry flies for trout but absolutely nothing for bigger, warm water fish. I'd like to start up a box of stuff that will work for fish in the rivers around here. What do you suggest I start the collection with? What are your essential flies?
