Hmmmm let's see.
How about something we all like to use early in the lakes.
Chironamids.

Everyone should have one of these to post.

Let's see them.

My two favorites are the good old ice cream cone in black w/red rib and a simple pattern as follows: hook: pupae/scud ie. mustad c49 #10-16
thread: 6/0 body color
bead: nickle tungsten( gets fly down quicker)
1st rib: silver wire
2nd rib: red wire
body: thread.
thorax: peacock herl
Pretty simple but effective patterns.

Don't even know where to start. This would have to be my favourite pattern to tie and fish. So I'll start with one of the first successful patterns I developed, The Stump Lake Limey:
