Roger The timetable was set when Myron told me that those dates were
Roger the best for him.

Ok.

Roger I wouldn't personally mind it if it happened a week later, but
Roger I'm more than OK with the set date too =). The pictures that I
Roger included in my first post were from the first week of August so
Roger normally it is a good time of the year for that area.

I don't know if one week really makes any difference, but I guess I
would prefer the earlier week for more light (less sleep? :-)) and
maybe a bit warmer weather.

I have an idea or two about good flies, but new ideas and suggestions
are always welcome. (The hottest part of the tying season starts right
after Christmas.)

Jarmo,

Mayflies and caddisflies =)
Not the answer you wanted?
Well, here comes what I've discovered so far:

Caddisflies like elk hair caddis (hair winged caddises) with greenish body.
Actually all insect life in the area tend to have nuances of green. I think
it has to do with the greenish water.
Mayflies, also in green nuances. Last time we were up there an olive variant
of the Wulff series flies worked excellent.
Nymphs in the color "guess what", pupaes like the superpupae (olive).
Klinkhamer.
Black wooly buggers for streamers. Actually I've also tried an olive
(surprise) variant with some success.
Soft hackles in low water. Stewart's black spider. And yes, an olive
variant.

Of course almost any fly will do. It was during those days when fish weren't
cooperative that we found the color green/olive to do better than other
colors.
