If you were to bring only 5 flies out to a mountain stream what would they be?

 

Mine would have to be:

1. Deer hair caddis

2. BWO

3. Humpy

4. Stonefly nymph

5. Double bunny

 

I am not trying to get your secret flies, just for fun.

Nymphing for cutties? What's next...indicator fishing for Steelhead..scented flies for permit?

 

:loster::thumbdown:

 

Ran into a fellow a couple months ago on a cuttie stream that shall remain unnamed and he commented to me how the cutties kept trying to eat his indicator... :clapping:

and, did he continue bobber fishing?

The ironic part about nymphing cutties is that it is not as productive as the dry fly (or streamer).

 

So really.....why??

 

 

Why not just use a hopper dropper? When the cutty eats your "indicator" you still win.

He lost me after he told me that story.

 

Probably one of those guys you see nymphing the bow @ 5:00am the beginning of July..

Probably one of those guys you see nymphing the bow @ 5:00 am the first week of July..

 

 

Or maybe one of those guys you see nymphing the Racehorse at 12 noon on July 7.

 

I watched 5 guys walk up Racehorse a couple years back on the second weekend of July. They were geared up with every gadget imaginable....including bobbers on every rod.

 

It was weird.......seeing a bobber in that place at that time is like seeing a flasher. At first it shocks the hell out of ya, and then all you can do is laugh.

I believe this is how most guys learn now and get keyed in on only one method, trying no other method?

 

My 5 flies for small streams;

 

-Stimulator

-Green Drake

-Elk Hair caddis

-Clouser- Big one

-Bow River Bugger- Big one

I think you'd have more "wins" with a hopper-hopper.

 

not always, that's when trying new flies helps. Sometimes people start early in the season or early morning and have a little more luck with nymphs on the dropper. Ilike fishing two dries during the mid-day too.
