This time of year I've done well with 18-20 disco or zebra midges and WD40's in black, brown, gray, or olive.

If you are going smaller than a 20 you may want to bring a girlfriend to keep your hands warm and pace yourself on the beers so that you can actually retie.

I have never caught one is all, nor the people I fish with.
