Fly-fishing can be nearly as effective as bait-fishing. Use dry fly patterns when fish are surfacefeeding, and nymph, leech or other subsurface patterns when little feeding activity is apparent. Effective dry patterns include black gnat, mosquito, Adams, blue dun, black ant, and deer-haircaddis. Wet patterns of choice include wooly worms, chironomids (TDC's), hare's ears, and careyspecials. ... Weather has a significant influence on fish and insect activity.
