C&r Dry Flying?

[hookinear]

I am still a little new to the idea(s) of dry fly fishing, but i am very interested in learning how to. It I have tried dries on taney before during the summer months. . . parachute adams, griffiths gnat, and something they called "the big ugly/nasty" and did fairly well. To me it is amazing to see a trout come out from the depths and explode on a little size 20 dry. Even when they just come up and suck it down, barely making a ripple, it is an amazing feeling. Just typing about it gives me chills of excitement. I have never fished in the winter time of C & R at any state parks. I have only fished around Thanksgiving and Christmas at taney. And even then i only used sub-surface flies. Is there any good pattern, or ANY pattern for that matter that i can use dry fishing at any of the state parks. Just wondering if anyone has any good experiences with this during C&R when hatches are at a minimum. Any advice is welcome and Thank You all in advance.

i usually fish sub surface in the C&R season. if you get out there now, when the water and air is still warmish, you can prolley get some dry fly action. griffiths gnat will usually work all year round though, but when the water starts to cool more the trout tend to sit closer to the bottom.

last year i went a couple 2-3 times i think, eagles are all over the park, which is cool. The one time we went we slayed em, i bet we caught close to 20 fish. the next time was much slower, only catching maybe 5. i plan to try to get out there sometimes this winter though
