Hey Ausable....

My friend and I were there first week of September. Same situation.

We managed to catch some fish but they were going for (what you said ) SMALL flies.

DID manage to get a couple on some rusty haystacks. Tied some white emergers on a 24 and caught some on them. A quigley cripple got some interest too.

Check out my blog about the experience.

I tell you, situations like what you wrote used to make me want to sell all the tackle I had...EVERYTHING!! Now, it just makes me MORE determined to get back out there and catch them, even if it's just that ONE SOLITARY FISH which is making a fool of me...AND I DON'T NEED HELP MAKING ME LOOK LIKE A FOOL! I CAN DO IT ALL BY MYSELF! HA! HA!

Someone mentioned using flourocarbon on the leader. A gent at my friend's fly shop (part-owner) says that it's great underwater, but acts and looks like every other mono on top.

Anyone care to discuss this.

Don't let them get the best of you. Fishing sure is about catching fish (of course) but for me it's the experience of it all which really does it for me.

Hope it does the same for you too.

Cheers,
Bad Luck Larry
