[font "Comic Sans MS"][green][size 3]Scruffy you said it all. I will throw on a big old foam flies knowing fully well that this bug is not out at this time of year, but they occassionally they will hit it anyway.[/size][/green][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][green][size 3]Royal Wulffs and Kaufman Cripples are my two favorite DRY for a dry dropper. They are both very bouyant, but can use smaller ones.[/size][/green][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][green][size 3]I usually go with a #16 - #18 Dry and a #20 to #24 dropper and experiment with how long of tippet to put between them. Takes a few tries to figure it out, but once you find the zone, it is usually good to go for a few hours till they change their zone again.[/size][/green][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][green][size 3]Another good way to find a zone in moving water is a wet fly or soft hackle or to even nymph with a HIGH STICK. [/size][/green][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][green][size 3]That is the fun about fly fishing and the frustration....you can see the fish but they don't want anything you offer![/size][/green][/font]
