Skip Morris Dry Flies:

Mayfly Dry Flies

Morris Mays

These light, simple dry-fly imitations fool wary trout. The different variations imitate specific mayflies. All versions have bright, easy-to-spot wings.

Skip's trusted the Morris Mays for a couple of decades.

Morris May, BWO

This dry fly imitates the little blue-winged olive(BWO) or Baetis mayfly dun so common across North American rivers in the fall, winter, and early spring.

Commonly tied in sizes: 20, 18, 16

Morris May, March Brown

This dry fly imitates that late-winter mayfly of western rivers.

Commonly tied in sizes: 14, 12

Morris May, PMD

This dry fly imitates the pale morning dun mayfly that provides steady hatches through the regular season on western rivers.

Commonly tied in sizes: 18, 16, 14

Morris May, Trico

This dry fly imitates the tiny Tricorythodes or trico mayfly dun that hatches on the smooth sections of rivers all across North America in August and September.

Commonly tied in sizes: 24, 22, 20

Caddisflies

Skaddises

The Skaddises are tough, effective even for wizened trout feeding in clear smooth water, and, for caddis imitations that settle their bodies to the water's surface like real caddisflies, good floaters.

Simple as they are, the Skaddises create a convincing effect trout like. Between the light and dark versions you can cover a lot of caddis.

Effective for hatches of little stoneflies too.

Skaddis Dark

Imitates all sorts of darkish caddis. Thanks to the yellow topping on the wing, up where the fish can't see it, this one is easy to see on the water.

Commonly tied in sizes: 18, 16, 14

Skaddis Light

Imitates all sorts of pale caddisflies. Easy to see.

Commonly tied in sizes: 18, 16

Stonefly Dry Flies

Morris Foam Stones

These are not only durable but practically unsinkable! And they offer trout a clean, convincing outline of the two giant western stoneflies of rivers: the salmonfly and the golden stonefly.

Both hatch in late spring to summer with the goldens following on the heels of the salmonflies. Exciting stuff!
