I tend to use smaller flies than most because fish see a lot of pressure and flies.
purple haze size 14 to 18.
Lightning bug 16 to 20
orange stimulators 14 to 16
Griffiths gnat 16 to 18
Pats stone fly 12 to 14
prince nymphs 16 to 18
size 14 elk hair or Goddard caddis. I prefer Goddard pattern
size 16 to 18 comparaduns for the finicky fish
pink San Juan worms 14 to 16
can throw in a few hopper patterns too, chernobyls
sparkle minnow pattern too
soft hackles in 16 to 18 aren't bad
can add a small dropper nymph like a lightning bug on the larger dry flies. 18 inches of dropper tippet
Buy a 9 foot 5x and 6x leaders. Cut off the last 2 feet add 2 to 3 feet of flouro tippet. 4x to 6x tippet as needed for dry flies
I cut off the last 3 feet for a nymph rig 9 foot 5 x leader, add tippet.
most use a thingamabobbers as indicators. I like small piece of Antron dressed with floatant.
what month?
