am new to the brownies and am trying to get my buddy to hit up this river with stock browns. the river is the cleanest in ohio. its called clear fork. they say to use.
Sulfurs 18 to 22.
The Light Cahill 14 to 16.
Tricos 20 to 24.
Caddis 14 to 18. The black caddises should be fished in
sizes 16 to 18, and they hatch from late March to mid-May.
The major stonefly on the lower Clear Fork River is the small Black Stone, and they
can start hatching in late February and continue to early May. Sizes range from 12 to 16.
The midge 20 to 32
I can make all these just need smaller hooks. any tips on browns? I take it they like smaller bugs than most fish? I never fished this small of size before. what tippet should we use? where do browns like to hide? boulders, and trees and undercut banks? says they are in the river all year? I really want to get on into some brown trout. sounds like a once in a lifetime experience for a fly fisher. my cousin wants findley instead but thats a lake and hard to fly fish on.. I am trying to persuade him. heres the site i found this on http://www.mohicanflyfishersofohio.com/fishing_cfr.html
