Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted January 9, 2007 Root Admin Posted January 9, 2007 I'm creating a map for my talk in St Louis and need some help. Can't seem to get my brain in geer today. Here's what I have so far- Fly Selection: ~Scud (freshwater shrimp, Gammarus); sizes 12 to 24 in a variety of styles and colors, gray being the basic color along with tan, olive, purple, white, black and brown. Add little orange for a ‘dead’ look. ~Sow Bug (Isopod); sizes 16 to 24 in basic earth colors- gray, brown, olive. ~Midge (Diptera); sizes 14 to 28... no way to cover all midge patterns on record. Larva: thread midge, miracle, zebra. WD40, RS2, brassie. Emerging: soft hackle, emerger, serendipity. Adult: adams, griffith’s gnat, crackleback ~Forage (sculpin, minnows); sizes 4 to 16, wooly bugger, clouser, sculpin, mo-hair leech Any additions?

Danoinark Posted January 9, 2007 Posted January 9, 2007 Phil, trout crack worked for me in the riffles not long ago, Sz 16. Guess that would go in the scud sections. Outside of that looks like a perfect Taneycomo Tailwater Fly Box. Dano Glass Has Class "from the laid back lane in the Arkansas Ozarks"
Kansas Fly Fisher Posted January 9, 2007 Posted January 9, 2007 Looks good to me. I'd maybe add a crackleback and the big ugly for dry's. I've had some luck with both, especially the crackleback letting it drift dry and then stripping back once it nears the end of the drift. John Born to Fish, Forced to Work KSMEDIC.COM
