[quote FishingRookie]Thanks for the info. I am headed to Sportsmans tomorrow and maybe I will stop by Jimmy's fly shop as well. I mostly want to get into tying because I have a few flies I really enjoy using and I think I could make a lot of them and save in the long run.
I am planning a trip to Birch Creek this weekend so I am hoping to get some flies tied before then. Do San Juan Worms work well there? I have never been[/quote]
There are a few drys that I throw out there, light homemade caddis emerger I tie, elkhair caddis occasionally in the summer, and year round I throw renegades size 16.
Usually ( 99%) I throw renegades. They are the go to fly regardless of what is going on out there. I have taken 5 or 6 people that have never thrown flys and tied on renegades, given them a good game and turned them loose and they catch fish out there with it.
I may be headed up that way this weekend from rexburg with the rest of our water being blown out, If I do Ill pm you and let you know.
