Default feathers and tying flys with them

That's my experience on the Big Lost, too.


This one

has worked very well for me on both of the 'Bigs' in your area .... I've
only fished them after mid August, fwiw

I suck at nymphing, but I once fished in downtown Ketchum not far from an
old (even to me!! ) guy that told me he and his sons had fished the "Bigs"
every season since the boys were young ( they looked 35-45 now). We were
both nymphing similar water, but he wasn't catching that day and I was. He
finally came over to look at my flashy nymph ... he was very distainful of
how 'gaudy' it was, but took one when I offered ..... it was probably the
one and only time in my life I will outfish anyone, anywhere.
