yeah ,like they are just gonna jump on the hook ,,,huh
Sorry, but my flies work at 4000 feet or lower. They would include a BWO in sizes 18 to 22, Para Adams in the same size range, and a Griffith's Gnat in sizes 20 to 22.

I think all you need is a royal wulff - 12 thru 18. But para Adams in the same size should also work.
If Mr. Patterson was not hanging out at the rehab center he might recommend a Guacamole Stick Bug, that is what he gave to fish the Elk which resulted in brookies. I also had success on a blue assassin that day, considerable below 4,000 ft. But, I'll bet ya, the trout don't have an altimeter.
Want to hear God laugh? Tell him Your plans!!!
At 8,000' in Wyoming all the fly's Kaboom1 listed worked!!
Having fished for those Brookies in most western states for quite a few years I agree that most any of the patterns will
work. However I do believe that flies in sizes 8 to 12 are very effective and easier to remove without hurting the fish. That being said be sure you take along some Rio Grand Kings.
Hope you have a great trip.
