Little pts, hustler nymphs, copper johns, sexy waltz, my own sexy waltz with an ice dub peacock black collar at the head, anything with a CDC collar. All tied jigged in 14-16 with heavy beads (3.5mm usually).What are some of your favorite nymph patterns to run on your dry/dropper rigs here in western WA trout streams?

Yup. I always fish a chubby as my dry. A chubby will float just about anythingI assume the dry your using is heavy in the foam with that big of a bead?
And catch just about everything.Yup. I always fish a chubby as my dry. A chubby will float just about anything
yes it willAnd catch just about everything.
Yes! That's why I fish a waltz because it imitates a caddis. I'll tie one up and post a pic on here to show you guysI looked up the waltz (walt’s) worm fly and funny enough it is essentially the caddis I described. I just add a couple wraps of peacock herl at the collar and usually use a dark bead. Not always though. That’s a good fly. The fragility of the krystal flash is made up for by the ease of tying.
