generic trout flys

[fsh4fun05]

I'm not a fly fisherman by far but have a few flies that I've collected they are called -"this one here", and "this one" and " I don't know what this is supposed to be" and "I caught some trout on this one". Anyone have some pics of some 'generic trout flies'?
I suppose names and sizes would help too, thanks.
And what's the deal with the parachutes? I can see a little bug slowly descending on the surface of the water and it makes me laugh, and a renegade, and who is Adam? Can I have a fly named after me? This reminds me of when I first started bass fishing, so many questions...

Too many fly's out there to take a shot in the dark as to what you have. If you have a picture, of them, we can name them. It is less important the name of the fly, as it is to what it imitates.
Parachutes float softly to the water so the land like a real bug,they also put a good silloette on the water.

When you design a fly you can name it what you want.

Hey bass dude, what are you doing over here!!! Just kidding. I'm an avid fly fisher and I tie most of my own flies. There are literally thousands of fly patterns out there but most of them are variations of a handfull of basic patterns. Here are some pictures of a few of the more popular dryfly patterns: [url "http://www.troutflies.com/pictures/_drys.shtml"]http://www.troutflies.com/pictures/_drys.shtml[/url]

As far as nymphs go, Pheasant Tail, Hares ear, Prince, and Copper Johns are some local favorites: [url "http://www.troutflies.com/pictures/_nymphs.shtml"]http://www.troutflies.com/pictures/_nymphs.shtml[/url]

Not sure if you are aware, but fly fishing for bass has become increasingly more popular over the last several years. I have not caught any warmwater fish on the fly yet, but it is something I plan on doing this season. Here are some bass flies: [url "http://www.flyfishusa.com/flies/bass-home.htm"]http://www.flyfishusa.com/flies/bass-home.htm[/url]

Oh yeah, since you asked, and it is such an important, productive pattern (and a personal favorite) here is everything you ever wanted to know about the adams dry fly: [url "http://business.virgin.net/english.flyfishingshop/dry-adams.html"]http://business.virgin.net/english.flyfishingshop/dry-adams.html[/url]

Hope you enjoy! []

Thanks scottyP. Thats what I was looking for, some explanation of what trout flies "do" on the water and such and the popular ones. I have fly fished for bass and bluegill at Pelican.
