spm 0 Report post Posted May 23, 2014 Well, for those of you who live close to Sugar Creek, you know that last week was rainy and cold. When we got there and the river was up, fast, and muddy. The guide agreed that he would just be taking us on a boat ride. Had to cancel and will reschedule for another day. Disappointing but that's baseball. spm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flymanaj 0 Report post Posted May 24, 2014 For some reason I haven't had a lot of luck with white. Well, not with smallies anyway. Trout are a different story. I should add that I live in central ky. so I don't fish the mentioned streams and rivers. Just offering my two cents and hopefully helping a little.

tidewaterfly 0 Report post Posted May 24, 2014 White is great for imitating minnows, dragon & damsel flys or a white miller hatch before the topwater fun on dry white wulffs. And, if you hit the famous "whitefly" hatches for Smallmouths, some of the various Salmon or Steelhead dry flies in white work exceptionally well. These work pretty good too the rest of the time!

ditz2 0 Report post Posted June 6, 2014 I just caught one on a #10 yellow craft foam spider and missed another one. Also caught one on a black wooly bugger with a grizzly hackle size 8. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
