Hi guys!

This sounds like a plan! Wlfgng you mentioned Dry flies at dusk.. (size, pattern & color?) I usually try and match the hatch and come with nymphs, emergers to Drys. Do they have a good flyshop that you can get some pretied stuff or do you tie your own?

I had a river close to where I used to live years back and I had done a hatch study for entire years. I remember fond times in the middle of winter catching trout on the surface with a midge pattern on a #24. You had to be gentle and you really had to work um. I have a freind that lives by that river and he ties flies too. He used to be a contributing outdoors flyfishing writer to the local paper in longmont and other papers in Colorado. He now does national articles in Field and Stream etc. I have so many fond memories of that country back there. It sure has changed a lot in the last 30 years. I left 15 years ago and go been back several times each year. I think the guys in Utah, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, Oregon, Washington & Alaska  have probably seen similar population increases. I remember back in the 60's when flyfishing wasn't as popular. I would go up in the back country for days and rarely see another flyfisherman. I would catch a meal and cook it and release the rest. Damn those were good times!  :)

But now I have discovered Aces High.. hehe  and still being a sportman I release a lot here too! LOL Gosh.. do you think anybody is going to buy that line?

Great to hear from you,

Thunder

Interesting stuff, guys.  My experience in fishing has been saltwater, so hearing about freshwater river experience is cool  :)

Thunder..
lately it's been Green Drakes, Yellow Sallies and small parachute Caddis w/green bodies.

I tie my own nymphs but usually buy the dries since I'm not that good at the dries yet.  Taylor Creek fly shop in Basalt is about the best source of flies and info.

We definately have the population increases that others have seen, that's why I generally stay away from the Pan until winter.  I have a few spots I go to on the Fork that are very close by, have great stores of fish in them, and best of all.. I have seen maybe 2 anglers anywhere near there all year.
