Less see Hans? How many countrys and areas of the US have you fished "IN". Big difference in someone that lives in the east and has never fished the Snake River before. I am not knocking anyone here but I do not think of the Snake and midges in the same thought and some have said that is the fly they would use. Not sayint at times they don't work well there just that it is not a normal fly that I would use as a first choice on that river.

Buddy I have seen just the opposite happen many times to. It just depend on the stream or river fished. I have guided a lot of tail waters and spring creeks. And at times if you do not have the right fly you will walk away talking to yourself. But I have also caught good fish on a Royal Wulf right in the middle of a great PMD hatch. It is up to the fish. Even though they have a small brain at times they make us look like we have an even smaller one. Ron
