In this episode of the Southeastern Fly podcast, we embark on a deep dive into the world of confidence flies in fly fishing. I unpacked what sets these flies apart and why they're essential tools for anglers. From defining the very essence of confidence flies as those reliable patterns we reach for when the going gets tough, to dissecting how they earn their status through consistent success across different waters, species, and seasons, we explore the intricate dynamics at play in selecting and trusting these flies.

Drawing from personal experiences and anecdotes, I shared some of my own favorite confidence flies, shedding light on the thought process behind each selection. From the White Woolly Bugger, a go-to pattern for winter shad kills, to the versatile Beadhead Pheasant Tail Nymph that proves effective in a wide range of situations, and the summertime Ant patterns prized for targeting larger fish, each fly tells a story of trust earned through time on the water.

Since cicada season is approaching, I also cover my simple yet effective cicada pattern, reflecting on past experiences and the excitement of chasing trout and carp during this unique phenomenon.
