Best Fly?

[On The Fly 6]

So, what fly do you have the most success on below Beaver? I ask because I'm taking my fiance fly fishing this weekend and wan her to be able to catch a fish or two! I usually do well on midges...olive, black, and red....but I'd like some ideas. Much appreciated!

Zebra midges are pretty much a fail safe. Size and color can be tricky, but always get a few takers. Also watch what the fish are doing. If they are nose down alot....they are diggin for scuds. As tan or olive scud can be very successful as well.

Awesome. I went out last Sunday and fished where the catch and release area is or use to be?? I did well on a size 18 olive midge. Hopefully that'll continue this weekend!

Try Gray and Cream.

Gray and Cream together...or separate? I use blue dun midges a lot too and its more of a gray color. It produces well. About the same size?

all of these are good, have done really well on a green copper john when nothing else worked. good luck!

I like a #18 Ruby glass midge, with a black head that I tie, never fails.

Willing to share a recipe?

Tough to beat a brassie or mercury zebra midge, IMHO. I would suggest size 18 at the largest and would prefer 20. Many times, it seems tippet size is more important. I have never had the best success on the Beaver TW with more than 6x.

I've only fished Beaver tailwater a few times now, but my best fly has consistently been an olive bead head wooly bugger, fished with a quick, short strip,It has produced for me when nothing else seemed to stir up any action.
