Heading to the Rockies to fly fish...
I'm heading out Sunday and the reports indicate the fishing is great.

I've spent all day getting my gear in order and looking at line/tippets/leaders to see if all is good. It is.

The match the hatch report gives me an idea, but I never use those recommendations exactly. A very slight twist is always better.

We'll mostly be fishing streams that have substantial pools, but good running water.

My Godson will be learning the subtleties of this great sport. He's 11.

I have hoppers. We've had incredible success using terrestrials and there's a specific scud that's a killer, too. Actually, we fish in an area below an Alluvial fan near Rocky Mountain National Park. The locals say it sucks, but we slay 'em. Local knowledge is good and bad at the same time.

A Pink Scud?

Terrestrials have to be top-water where we fish. Fast running water to a calm pool. Flip to the running water (over and over) and let it run to calm water.

Scuds work really well, too. A weighted scud that gets no more that a couple of feet below the water works well. Where we fish a blue/green color combination scud works.

I was talking about a Hopper/Dropper set up.
Dry or Terrestrial on top, with dropper (nymph, scud, etc) down low.
Killer set up.

We haven't heard much about your fishing escapades since you first asked for advice. Glad to hear you're having success.

Yeah, it's been a lot of fun. They like little chunks of bagels, too, which is interesting. I've also enjoyed acting as the lake warden, too.
