OKFlyFisher44 Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Ditto what Justin said. Tie it in various sizes and color combos. Weighted and unweighted depending on flows. It's a staple lead fly on a tandem nymph rig on the NFOW. Hands down... Chance ...I'm haunted in my dreams of waters I have yet to fish and trout I have yet to catch... Chasing the Dream...

Chris Gates Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Pat's Rubberlegs is all you need and a Red Fox Squirrel nymph in winter and early spring is nice as a dropper size 8 approx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outside Bend Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Pretty much what everyone else has said. There's lots of complicated stonefly nymph patterns out there. I've tried a few on the NFOW, and they don't seem to work dramatically better than Pat's rubberlegs. I can crank 'em out faster than the more complicated ties, and losing a few to rocks and logs doesn't give me much heartburn. I've had lots of success with all black, yellow/brown, and coffee/black. Good luck! <{{{>< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavin Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Tater Tots.....28" brown..Pat's.....Beatty's 30" brown...Fox squirrel...a good drift with either is money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snow Fly Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Bade should not count...........Since he is known as "Big Fish Bade", Brown's, Bow's, and his famous Stripper caught I think after the last flood.......Always seems to be lucky enough to have someone coming down river at the right time to net and take care of the pic's.................Fox Squirrel, aka "Bade Special", at Hargrove's. Heck he could catch big fish without a hook.. "God gave fishermen expectancy, so they would never tire of throwing out a line" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gavin Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Guess he shouldnt count....What's the tally over 24" for the siggy snow fly;>). It is a good one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snow Fly Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Gavin: None over 24" in fact no fish period for me over 24" but do have a few over 20" for the white thread jig, aka, grub, maggot, Big Hurt, piece of Sh**, Right now in detox to get off using it so much, able to fish two days on the Norfork tailwaters without putting one on. Thought I had Big Fish beat on the big fish for the day with my Cutt but 35 ft further down river he was able to come up with an equal size brown...............
