What Flies To Tie?

[DaddyO]

I'm taking a trip to the Mountain Home area 5/29 thru 5/31 to do some fly fishing in the White river and Norfork river. We will be wade fishing where ever we can find wade-able water. I'm looking for recommendations on what flies I should tie for this trip.

On min flow the typical flies have been working, ruby midge,Davy's white tail midge,prince nymphs, and Clint's Sunday special.There has still been some sporadic caddis action so I would have some EHC and some caddis pupae as well.

You can catch them all day on a Pheasant Tail in my past experiences.

Well, I'd actually never heard of Davy's white tail midge or Clint's Sunday special. After googling them, I can see why they would be good patterns. What size on the Sunday special and EHC would you recommend?

14 and 16 on the EHC and 14-18 on the midges.

I had some recent luck on the White on a nitro caddis in chartreuse, when the caddis were hatching, fishing it down and across.

We pounded them on soft hackles last week, brown and yellow bodies. And, of course, zebra midges.

Sulphurs are starting to show up. The caddis hatch is dwindling some, there are still some around the Cane Island area but pretty thin above that.

Lots of good info. Thanks guys!
