Amazing! Any specific flies you use? Thanks for the reply!

Well for this period of the season, I would use the following: hare's ear with/w.o. flashback & bead head (sizes 12 - 18); pheasants tail w/w.o. bead head & flash back (sizes 12 - 20); possie bugger with flash (sizes 10 - 16); peacock elk hair caddis with/w.o. flash (sizes 6 - 12); stimulator with/w.o. flash (6 - 12); humpy with white wing posts (sizes 6 - 12).

Those should get you going for the most part. Red has done very well for me as far as colors go for my dry flies. I love using my red humpy size 8. It just slays them man!!!!

Also, if you need some possie buggers, send a PM to Brandon4455. He ties a mean possie bugger and he loves making them!!! I am sure he could hook you up for some well tied possie buggers for a decent $$$$. But that would be between you and him.

Stick to the riffles and pocket water when you find it. Remember to get your nymphs deep. Set the strike indicator at 1.5 - 2.5 times the depth of the water you are fishing. And have fun!!

Take care and good luck man.
