Thats the ticket right there. With a few color tweaks during the course of the year that'll be the only fly you need. Except for the last one you posted. A+++The trout morsel is a little pattern I've been working on recently. Lightweight, but with a big profile. 17mm micro shank with size 6 Aqua Talon hook. Someone more talented than myself could probably tie it all in one composite loop, but I tie in two parts. The flash/body is half Copper Ice Dub and half Olive Brown Ice Dub. Collar is Black Barred Olive Variant rabbit. A few strands of GP tail for movement, and optional JC eyes for a focus point. I've been having great success fishing it on a intermediate tip, and I've got other color combos that I'm fleshing out (black collar with midnight fire ice dub, craw/fiery brown with rusty brown ice dub).
I've been playing around with trout flies on small AJ irons, I really dig the low water look.
Green caddis larva, soft hackles, hare's ear, and a LaFontaine deep caddis pupa. Used angora goat dubbing for buggy-ness.

Thanks for sharing this awesome pattern. Tied up a couple of these with orange bodies and yellow foam. The trout loved them waking across the river, pops got his first surface take on the swing by this colorful little brown.Stonefly tube skater ....just for fun.
