I fish the Ogden 3-4 times a week. Because like "nymph pimp" it's pretty much in my back yard. I've been only been fly fishing for 2 years so i'm always looking for advice. went out last saturday... lots of fish rising, and after trial and error i found a dry fly that worked probably not the perfect selection but effective. a tiny parachute adam. maybe like size 20? 22? sorry not exactly sure. The next day i went out again and man it was my lucky day!!! A guy came up to me just as i was rigging up my pole. I explained i was new to the sport.....he was more than happy to give me some tips. He also handed me two flies he had tied.These things killed!!! I swear it seemed like as long as i got a good cast/drift they couldn't resist. BUT.....once again i'm a rookie and had trouble setting the hook, and when i did it was a challenge to hold on to them because the flies he gave me were barbless. so all in all i caught 3 but missed too many to count. Still.... it was a fun day. Hope to run into him again to thank him.
