I'd say my 5 best flies are a clouser, deceiver, surf candy, baby bunker pattern, and surface popper.

Half and half (black/green for night, olive and grizzly for day), clouser, "mushmouth", surf candy, poppers.

I fish primarily south county and the cape. A half and half type called the cape cod sand eel is what I use 90% of the time. Although I try to make them look just right, I think its the action that gets the fish.

Hookem
