Thanks Tim. I live in an area where there aren't too many fly fishing
mentors. I have one though. It's definitely "Death Valley" for
resources locally. But hey, I did catch a lot of fish this season by
simply tying the 2 sizes of most of my fly patterns. It was probably
"beginner's luck" all the way. Maybe I'll just branch out and add a
size or two more (the small, medium and large seems like a good "next
step") and just see how I do fishing. I did fish a ton this season,
and am still fishing a lot. So maybe this trial and error thing will
work for me.

Hi, I am just a dumb gurl, but why dont you look under rocks and see
what the bugs look like? What size are the caddis larva? Are they tan
or olive? If they are olive it would probably be better to be fishing
olive caddis dries and nymphs than tan
And during a hatch make sure you catch a couple of flies. Dont be all
big egoed on us, if you look like a butterfly catcher in the middle of
the river it is no big deal. Are the flies size 20 with olive bodies
and instead of fluttering they behave like helicopters? If they are
probably tie a bunch of small blue wing olive. Are they similiar but
bigger and with a orangish color? Might be a pale morning or pale
evening dun.

Thank you Julie, I appreciate the advice. I will definitely do this,
and don't mind if I'm mistaken for a butterfly catcher :-)
