Uinta fly question - Uintaman2 - 05-28-2025 In the back country often tiger and or cuts get selective on the fly they are taking, top 5 flies for picky trout mid summer.   My go to are renegades, mosquito, ant, small beetle. Stumped on really picky fish. RE: Uinta fly question - Cowboypirate - 05-28-2025 Elk hair caddis, royal coachman, Adam's, balanced leach and dropper nymph RE: Uinta fly question - Troutster - 06-01-2025 Those are excellent flies. I have done well with a small parachute PMD. Of course it’s similar to an adams but I can see it better. I also always have some small to medium stimulators. They are fun to plop on the surface near a deep ledge and watch the fish come up off the bottom and hit it. If stone flies are around you can drag that stimulator across the surface, making a wake. The last thing for picky fish is lite tippet and be quiet on the bank. I always have some 6x for that clear water. Good luck! RE: Uinta fly question - BearLakeFishGuy - 06-03-2025 parachute Adams, parachute Coachman, parachute caddis, black pheasant-tailed nymph, hopper pattern of any type RE: Uinta fly question - up2nogood - 06-03-2025 It's crazy ,it's been years since I have fished the Uinta's , I never figured out why they would take a mosquito , but they would , also the renegade was one of the go to flies . There were times , like all fly fishing when they just get finicky , and there was times when just get a fly on the water . Some of the replies are all good flies to go to . I used to fish with a fly ,and bubble , being able to reach out there at times . It's been years since doing that . Now it's just the fly rods . RE: Uinta fly question - Uintaman2 - 06-04-2025 Thanks, need to pick some up. RE: Uinta fly question - beerbatterbum - 06-08-2025 I always like renegades. But when they’re stubborn a beetle pattern. I tie with a black foam back, peacock belly and a little tuft of orange yarn on top so I can see it. Soft hackles on a slow retrieve can work well on my secret big cutthroat lake. RE: Uinta fly question - Mildog - 06-09-2025 My bad missed the ant in first list!!  But, got to have Black Ant pattern in the mix. The beetle pattern just mentioned is a good one Trout love ants and other terrestrial bugs!! I used to throw out and ant pattern with a bubble and lean my rod against a log let the wind drift it around and bendo! Fish on! Like bait fishing with  fly! Caught a lot of fish in high mountain lakes that way!! Throw some ant flies in your box!
