Over used? knowing that is tuff. I have some old fly tying books that I keep to look at older patterns and adapt a little for what I need. I got one from Ebay, and I know that I've seen others there. You can always experiment and make your own pattern. That way you know its not over used. Feels really good hooking one on your own patterns too!! (specially when everyone around you is coming up dry!)

Ok, here's a couple.
Bloody Mary is one
And here's a blast from the past: Muskrat nymph - used to be very popular 30 years ago, nowadays the're rarely used and still effective.
Another old yet still very productive pattern is the Butcher fly.
One nymph that is rarely used in Northern climes is
the Tellico, a tried and true pattern
Of course since my handle is Pheasant tail, I vary the methods
of tieing them, using a peacock hurl body , or use flashy dubbing.
