Christmas Present

Where I fish it's a copper beadhead nymph. I have 3 different ones. With wings, w/o wings and one with some green peacock hurl. Have never missed with these. The rainbows seem to go nuts over them.
Sometimes on a hot day, a black ant or what my dad called a wollybuger. Like a mini brown/redish caterpiller.

Never said I could see it. In fact, I can't. I cheat and use a strike indicator on the tipit. Dry flies do ok under certain condidtions where I fish, mostly early in the morning during the hatch. After that if you can't see them feeding on top water wet flies are the way to go.

hah strike indicator, is it bright orange or bright green

yea i would have to say that a good wet fly is definitly used for some rapid water. I like the nymph's though, i used them when i was getting some blue's in a lake one time by the bass

I use some orange ones and I think I have some bright pink ones in my vest. The river I fish in originates in a cave. It moves along pretty rapidly. I think the website is http://www.mostateparks.com/roaringriver.htm It dumps into the west end of Table Rock lake in Southwest Missouri.

My brother is learning how to tie some Mosquitos and other dry flies. If I get to see this summer, hopefully he will give me some pointers. It's been quite a while since I have tied any. When I get some time to practice I post a couple and you can tell me what you think.
