There are no limits, except for the ones we put on ourselves.

Depending on time of year:

Crab fly: Merkin or Kwan tied with EP fiber for body and marabou for tail
Clouser: use these for every type of fish just change color combo: Chartrues and white w/pearl flash and tan and white w/ rootbeer or similar flash favorite
EP minnow style: pinfish or mullet cut and color combo
