I feel the buggers with the rubber legs in a size 8 or 10 would be effective if you could find a stream there to fish them. I am looking forward to using those once the generation slows on the tailrace.

On the rivers I now fish in the south of England, streams aren't permitted. Look forward to your report from the tailrace.

I wouldn't want to fish just one pattern through the year for trout, but if I had to choose one singular fly, I wouldn't hesitate to select the good old Woolly Bugger. It's that good.rivertoprambleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10049232742240328847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8518971929369280752.post-9065188065586749882023-01-04T18:11:39.944-05:002023-01-04T18:11:39.944-05:00Mark

My next post will feature the combo I am going to use when fishing all these flies.

I am goiing to use some of these flies on the tailrace when they stop generation. True, the surface action can be addictive. <br />I have a feeling it may be a while before you make it out to one of your trout streams, becasue of the weather.

One of my bass fishing friends seldom uses anything but Murdich Minnows and he hooks a lot of fish. I'm curious about poly leaders and wondering if I should add those to my jumbled pile of fly-fishing gear... Good luck with those streamers!Al R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12812965911600857325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8518971929369280752.post-22145984785430840552023-01-02T13:40:25.734-05:002023-01-02T13:40:25.734-05:00Hi Bill.

You can't go wrong with buggers. Mark Kautzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03802544198629446327noreply@blogger.com
