I would have put the Kwan somewhere on my list in the top 5. It has been the most consistent producer on grass beds here in Florida’s Panhandle. It catches reds, bluefish, speck trout, pompano, flounder and the whole gamut of bait stealers.
In the northeast I've caught just about everything that swims fresh and salt on a clouser. It's the easiest fly to tie and using different weights can be used in just about any depth water and current even with floating line.
Adam, your top 6 is also my top 6. But I have 0 fly fishing experience. But they look good. On another note I love the logo. Whoever designed that crushed it!
Several classic patterns there. However regionally consistent producing flies across the world's fisheries would enthrall Me. Thanks for opening the door to a great subject for dialogue. Bonjour de Nouvelle Orleans, Louisiana /USA mes amis partout !
If you are fishing for a large mouth bass, you need to adapt your patterns to the Bend Back style or learn to tie wire guards. Never use mono loops, they hook on structure and you have to break them off.
I guess that everyone has there top 6 , because it depends on their targeted species, they may fish a certain fly that copies the fish’s feeding pattern such as a crazy Charlie for bonefish or a deceiver for poons , I myself am parcel to bait fish patterns, I like EP bait fish, one favorite is Cliff Nigh’s thunder struck bait fish pattern made in different sizes and colors , or Carl Hanson’s crystal minnow, or surf candy works well , but I’m all for trying those you chose , who knows maybe I’ll find a new favorite 👍🏼🤔
1. Umpqua rattle fly 2. Clouser 3. Ep spawning shrimp 4. Duprees spoon fly 5. Ep bait fish patterns This is my list for where I live I liked your list but some of those flies are ok where I live
Hi Adam, hoping to visit the area next year to sample the saltwater fly fishing (from the UK), thanks for the list of flies to use, will be calling in .
Adam, your top 6 list is my top 6 list
Hey Brent, glad you agree and see things my way
Streamers all of them, working very well fresh and salt water, excellent selection!!!
Glad you like them!

Same here! I tie tons of little spin offs of clousers

Nice selection guys. Three of those are always in my box 👍
Good deal!

Nice list
I live in San Diego, CA. and use some of those same flies for croaker, mullet and corvina. Great video, thanks.
Adam. Your top 6 list is my top 6 list. 🤜
Great minds think alike!!
EP crab, redfish crack, EP Everglades special, Seaducer, and just to give them a curve ball, The scorpion card fly.
I am missing a couple of these. I'll have to keep an eye out.
I have a preference for flat wings but we all have our lists.

If you put your top fly in a can with some tmatonsauce it will really look like a pilchard
I would have included something in all white, small minnow profile for Snook on the beach, but yeah that stuff will work
That would definitely be on the list for top 7!
Solid list
1. Umpqua rattle fly
2. Clouser
3. Ep spawning shrimp
4. Duprees spoon fly
5. Ep bait fish patterns
This is my list for where I live I liked your list but some of those flies are ok where I live
Thanks for your input. Very informative. What area do you live in?
Cool video!
Thanks for the kind words.
Solid list dawg..... but you did forget the Schminnow!
Thought about it, but it didn’t make my top 6! Definitely a rock solid fly though
Your #1 looks almost exactly like a pilchard to me lol
Good video !
Thanks Sebastian!!
I would love to come in & argue with you but, I would end up spending half of my life savings. Good vid.

I did not understand what you called #1?
He said Everglades Special. Fly links are in his drop-down info section.
Great video, just fix those “um” and its a perfect video :)
Your Twitter handle isn’t working
Schminnow
if you fish saltwater and DON'T have an epoxy minnow in your box, shame on you :p
Uhmmm..... Could you say “uhmm” any more.....?
UMMMMMM Yes.
Nice list
