I have used kastmasters, but not up there. I am sure that small ones would be about as effective as anything else. I have used small brass brown-trout patterns on the Provo river and they work O.K., but I tend to go back to my Panther Martins. As for the fly and bubble, there is a whole thread about this under the topic of 'Arctic Greyling' that there have been a lot of comments on. To sum it up, you use a casting bubble, fill it up about half way when using dry flies, maybe more if using nymphs or streamers, then tie on a barrel swivel followed by about 3-5 ft of leader and then your fly. I have used all kinds of flies and they all seem to work. Up there I would probably use a nymph, like a pheasant tail or gold ribbed hare's ear, or small BWO immitations for dries. I would have to think that mosquitos would also be pretty effective. I am sure thought that there are plenty of others here that would have their opinions, all of which I am sure would be helpful for you. Good luck!
