The following fly patterns have been designed by myself and represent some
of my personal favorites.
Turck Tarantula
An all-purpose and very versatile attractor pattern. It works well dry or
wet, twitched or dead drifted, in moving and still water. Especially good at
attracting large trout.

Power Ant
You'll never realize how much trout love ants unless you fish
them all the time. The Power Ant is, to my knowledge, first attractor ant
pattern and can be fished anytime you would fish a general attractor.

Snake Drake
This Wulff style attractor pattern was designed to better simulate a
variety of mayfly duns than was otherwise possible with existing attractor
patterns. It is best described as a blend of match-the-hatch and attractor
pattern design.

Compower Dun
Based on the outstanding Comparadun pattern, the Compower Dun extends the
usefulness and fishablity of the original using a combination of slightly
different materials and construction techniques.

Note to skeptics: While most of the above patterns are undisputedly original, some, inspired by existing patterns, are important variations. Whether you consider such variations truly original or not, they are significantly distinct enough to, in my opinion, bear the "original" label.
