Last year was such a fun year on the dry flies, I didn't do much nymphing at all, except in April and early May.
My boxes are all filling up with yellow mayflies, humpys, cranes, bugs/bombers, Wally wing mays, and wally wing irresistibles.

After last year I'm on a dry fly kick, all size 10 and up, .
As of late the bigger dry flies have been producing the bigger fish, even early in the season. It seems the joy of a rise is as much fun as a strike, , ahhhh, this game only gets better with age, .
