I used to fish the RDR for goldeye strictly with dry's(humpys, hoppers, stimulators etc.) but since going with hopper/dropper setup I catch twice as many. Goldeye are not very particular(not like trout) ...I usually use a chernobyl ant with a prince nymph or hares ear dropper. If they do not take it dead drift then start dragging it across the water and they will chase the ant across the water and nail it. Anywhere that looks trouty should hold goldeye and the later it gets the more they spread out...I have been standing in water knee deep and in the evening they would be rising all around me even between me and the shore. They will bite all day but it is always the best in the evening.

Fishing for about 45 and flyfishing for 25. Learned on Morse , Freeman, etc. around Swan Hills when I worked in Virginia Hills. Several hundred dollars worth of Royal Coachmans lining the trees of those rivers...love those Arctic Grayling (Thymallus Arcticus). Jim

Humpy's, hoppers, stimulators, wooly buggers, caddis or whatever is in your flybox. If dead drift isn't working then drag it across the water, if that doesn't work drag your dry fly underwater...if the bite is on sometimes they don't care. I have caught them at Burbank(can get pretty crowded on the weekends), 3 mile Bend, Joffre Bridge...just about anywhere. Joffre Bridge is my favorite...15 minute walk upstream from the bridge. Jim
