[QUOTE="JCW355, post: 2407705, member: 528"] A lot of midge activity last few times I was there. I was using a size 24 cdc midge dry fly with a size 24 thread midge dropper of the same color. They were being really selective later in the day so the really small stuff was the ticket. I usually use size 16 and 18 zebra midges when I midge fish. This time of year keep your eye out for march brown mayflies. Have some march brown dries,size 10 and 12 have worked for me plus tie on a pheasant tail nymph dropper to the dry. Size 14 but have some a size smaller and a size bigger. Drop your dropper anywhere from 6" - 2' off the dry. You have to determine the depth, same as midge fishing. Good luck if you go, I dont know when my next trip will be. [/QUOTE]
