P.S. when you fish these fllies, both dries and nymphs, wear eye
protection...they are big and heavy and move all over in the wind.

It also helps to twitch them (the dries) around on the surface. Watch
the naturals -- they're twitching like crazy.


good point rw... this is one of the few times outside of hoppers that
a delicate presentation is not required in fact a resounding "plop"
is preferred and the adults do skitter all over the surface. If they
are on, you will see some huge fish and I mean 6 to 9+ pound browns.
In the Madison current this is equal to a chrome Steelhead in the 10#
plus range in less "heavy" water... 4x will seem thread like :-)
