River Run is the place to go for fly fishing info and supplies.

This time of year, your fly box should include copious amounts of:

Beadhead Zebra Midges 18-20 - rust, olive, bug green, red, black, and primrose and pearl. I tie mine w/gold beads. Black works OK too, but I think the gold works a bit better most of the time.

Mosquito Midges 16-20

Soft Hackles 16-20 - part/orange, part/olive, part/bug green, part/white, part/black

Egg pattern - peach, rainbow, red. Great when generation starts.

Scuds 12-18 - gray, ginger, olive, tan, UV purple. Fish size 16-18 on low flow and use the 12s and 14s (tied weighted) on power generation.

Cracklebacks 16-20. Fish dry or wet, but dry has been working better this summer.

If you pack all of these flies, you will ALWAYS have something in the box that they're keying on.

P.S. Oh...some small streamers work well too, especially for night fishing.

My New Year's resolution is to have more fun...even if YOU don't.
