An honest fisherman is a pretty uninteresting person.
Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and not only is he hungry but broke for the rest of his life as well.

Soft hackles and CDC nymphs in varying weight from 1.5mm to 4mm tungsten bead heads...... for all species mentioned and for rivers and stillwaters. Dont need any dries. If a dry is needed, I would treat an unweighted soft hackle CDC fly with CDC oil and fish it as a dry.
Disclaimer.... none of my posts are intended to be "expert advice"..just opinions from someone who is willing to help where he can.

Oh yes I forgot out the soft hackles.

RSLNs in sizes 14 - 18. That's all for nymphing. Then some Stims in #10, Para-adams in #16 - #18, and dry spiders.
