--Dry Flys:
-Stillwater:
Flush floating patterns (Comparaduns, Parachutes, etc.) will outfish standard hackled dry flys.
When calm, sunk flourocarbon tippet outfishes floating monofilament tippet.
-Moving Water:
Your dry fly won't get bit unless it's riding high and dry. ( Best flies... heavily hackled traditional dry flies)
--Nymphs and Streamers:
-Stillwater:
Good fly materials should move and breathe. Good materials are rabbit, squirrel, pheasant aftershaft feathers, ostrich herl etc.
-Moving Water:
When the water is fast and colored, use large and flashy flies to attract attention
When the water is slow and clear, use small and natural colored flies.
Rules I live by in the waters I fish... mileage may vary....
