Al Agnew Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 Nymphs...I don't think they are in the least selective. Dries...yeah, they are selective at times, down to focusing on only one species of fly when there are several hatching at the same time. But if it's a big hatch with a lot of bugs on the water, I've found that going about two sizes bigger than the actual bugs often makes the trout choose your fly over the natural...and when they REALLY start being selective during a big hatch, go to something totally different. I learned this on Slough Creek in Yellowstone Park. Big baetis hatch. Blue winged olive dries of the right size, several different ties, bigger, smaller...nothing was working. My buddy gave up on it, put on a big olive Stimulator, and started skipping the thing across the surface...and the cutthroats ate it up.

Writers throw that into articles just to make their stories longer or more interesting. It's not real. Expand I like to think of trout being"highly selective". It gives me a better excuse on why I didn't catch the big one laying at my feet. XP 590 1

Careful not to spend too much time fretting things that don't matter (drag free drifts, tight loops, tuck and steeple casts, ect.) and use that salvaged time to perfect things like staying upright in fast water, and navigating slick rock. Try not to fart in your waders, and always go pee TWICE before putting them on. Expand That might be the best advice I have ever seen on this forum. Deadstream, rps and trythisonemv 3
