[color=#0000FF]Went down to the stream tihs morning and the conditons were great.The fish were taken small grey midges size 24-26 up AND down the stream so I tyed on a size 24 gray midge and had refusels up and down the stream so I then I tied on a 26 gray midge with the same results.I then tied on every small midge and still no hook ups,it was getting close to the time i had to leave to go home so I figured nothing else was working so why not try #14 adams on my first cast i had a hook up and landed a nice fat 13 inch brown over the next 20 min I hooked and realesed 3 more.I dont think ill ever figure this out.
Your fly stood out against all the others. And it was bigger so it was less energy for a bigger meal.
less energy/bigger bug/hungry trout=happy angler.
Actually Thomas, you just did! 8)
Two flies are my basic weapons. The ones Im confident in. Parachute Adams, Royal Trude. 8)
I don’t mess around and throw the Para Adams first. Most of the time I don’t have to change it. Either that or a Royal Wullf.
For me it’s important to see the fly all the time so I don’t miss the take. I might get more takes by matching the hatch, but it does me no good if I see them too late to get a hook up.
Cheeseburgers. Sometimes it works. And sometimes it doesn’t.

Thomas,
While your at it, cast a terrestrial or stimulator.

Actually, “Cheeto’s” can be effective sometimes. (I am a purist, elitist, these are ‘dry’, they float!)
If you see no hatch and you want to use dries. What do you use?
