I have tried the search on this topic for a few days and it doesnt seem to be working. I usually fish murrels inlet from my kayak and was wondering what flies would provide the best chance of a hook up this time of year. Never really been out this early in spring/late in winter so just curious what most others are using. Targeting anything really...reds, trout, etc... |

Is that a zonker strip for the tail on the dark brown fly, or is that craft fur ??? Best looking fly I have seen with chenille of that type ...
Bragging may not bring happiness,
but no man having caught a large fish,
goes home through the alley.

Have a few bucktail decievers, but they are chartuse. Threw in a couple M4's and a copper head or two. Just making sure all bases are covered since I am pretty far from the fish so most trips are an event in themselves between distance, work, and a toddler. Thanks dude.
"Dark water=dark flies", "thinner flies in winter months", etc... Lots of general rules but, having the "correct" fly could just as likely leave you fishless. Time on the water is probably the biggest factor. 
PS If I had only 4 flies, two of them would be Clousers.  |

Or just bring the fly on the top left.
Flies (like everything else) are trendy but, those four flies have caught salt fish for years and years and.... |
