Terrestrials
On streams where they hatch, slate drakes and BWO's can be important - especially later in fall as the weather and streams cool down

Same flies I use most to the year size 18-14, cut wing, thorax tied, adams with a split tail or elk hair caddis.

^ Basically the same stuff I use the rest of the year. Royal Wulff, EHC, stimmies, elk hair caddis, BHPT, green weenies

I don't really have a fall "go to" fly.

You might be fishing a small brookie stream when the water is low and clear.

Or a limestoner with trout rising for BWOs.

Or a stocked stream that is high and murky after a rain.

You have all different conditions, so the flies you choose will be different.

And that's true all year.

In the examples above, a black wooly bugger would be a good choice for the stream that's high and murky after a rain.

For trout rising to BWOs, use a BWO imitation.

For the freestoner that's low and clear, terrestrial patterns are good.
