When i am midge nypmhing on my 9' 5wt: 7.5' leader tapered to 5x <-> 5 or 6x tippet <-> fly 1 <-> 6x <-> fly 2. When fishing a tiny dry (my definition of tiny is anything 18+ because i cant see worth a hoot) i tie on a #14 para adams and tie the small fly off the hook bend with 5x or 6x (about 18" between the 2 flies). I am not a fan of using foam flies (hoppers/chernobyls etc) for the indicator fly because they make to big of a splash when they crash down. An elk hair caddis might be a reasonable choice for the "indicator fly". On a semi unrelated note, anyone try fishing october caddis (big orange bodied caddis) and big stonefly nymphs lately? I had the guy at my local fly shop recommend i try those at some point during the day.

I normally fish a 6.5' 2wt for small stuff. I was looking more for nymphs not the tiny dries. I am way to blind for fishing dries. I have a stash of zebra midges 18-22, primrose & pearl zebra midge 18-22, $3 dip - red 18-22, $3 dip 18-22 - brown, #3 dip 18-22 copper. btw a $3 dip is a serendipity variant. Should i tie up anything else?

What are your favorite midge nypmh patterns/sizes/colors?

Does anyone have any suggestions for a campground near table rock dam? Can i access the water from table rock state park or must i get to it from the other side? Thanks
