I'll be fishing the Beaver Tailwater for the first time next month, so I need to start tying flies for the trip right now. What flies do you recommend? I live in Springfield, MO, so I fish Taneycomo a lot, but I don't know if I need to make some changes to types or colors of my flies and streamers. I usually have a good arsenal of the following:

Cracklebacks - Yellow, Olive

Soft Hackles - Red, Black, Olive, Yellow,

Wooly Buggers - Brown, Olive, Black

Scuds - Gray, Tan

How am I doin' so far? What do you recommend I use for the last part of April?

I'd add some olive scuds and a bunch of midges _ Zebra midge styles

Our Cadion Midge, developed by one of our two guides Bryce Cadion is very effective going to be on the Spirit River books for 08

Tie is very simple

TMc 2487 hooks 16-18-20

5/64 Gold Bead for 16s _ 1/16 for 18s 20s

Brown/olive thread UTC 140 for 16s 70 for smaller

Ultra wire red or green Brassie for 16s Small for 18-20

Swap thread to blue dun; bead to silver, rib to silver and you get the very hot blue dun

Build 4 layers of thread only _ layer is head to tail or tail to head

5 turns of rib. Go fish
