Best Flasher/Fly of 2014

[Jammer]

I got a pretty good response to the Best Spoons of 2014 post, so now I'll ask the same question for your best Flasher/Fly combos.

 

What worked?  What didn't?  Any surprises?

 

By far, my best this year was a 10" White Glow/Green Dots Spin Dr. and an A-TOM-MIK Screamer Live Series Fly.  Outfished everything else on the boat, all season long.

We had two combos that worked best for us - 42nd Spinnie pulling a Moonshine Smitty fly and a NBK Spinnie pulling a Green Glo fly.

A-TOM-MIK ultra green/glow with white glow/green flasher was quite consistent this past season.

 

Hammer pattern flies behind white glow crush was good,

 

as was the good ol Green Crinkle behind green/chrome flashers when the sun was up...

Did quit well on this pattern. Its UV chartruse atomic or purple taco, same stuff and the black is Holographic High Voltage Black, made by Montana Fly Co.. 4 green beads and 1 red bead.  This is home made. I like my flies with a lateral line. Seems to make it look more real. I wasn't a believer in UV, well now I am. Here's a few I made 2 days ago, on the cardboard as they were drying

Spin doctor Black dot/ white flash with a 42nd street fly. Caught almost every species except a coho on it this past season

[BAZOOKAJOE]

We did well with flashers with green holo tape with green hammer flys.

[steelfire]

Best for me was White green dot spinny with either Atommik ultra green glow, Hammer live lime, or big fin crinkle glow.

Finsntins- When you say white fly do you mean glow or non glow white fly?? One of my best flys last couple years has been the atomic ultra glow white fly behind a variety of spinnys. Don't think I've tried a non glow white fly but I thought about it. 

[finsntins]

to be honest,i have no idea,dont even know what brand,i have been learning spoon names and flasher names the last 2 years,so this year i am going to work on the fly names.this combo had so much action this past season that there isnt much left of the fly.hopefully someone can i.d. it,cause id like to get a replacement,however,what worked last year,doesnt mean its gona work this year!!!!i will dig it out later and post a pick,maybe one of the pros will know what it is.

Guess I made some apple glow flies and didn't know it well at least I know that color will work
