    Thanks for the tip. High Bridge sounds familiar.

    Squint that'll do it for the smaller size adjustment issue. Hahaha. 2 flys, barbless hooks. The water is COLD. have a blast down there. Go upstream too to the final parking spot below the dam, take the path down the hill to the river, it's really good there too

    Here's a set up that usually works quite well. Indicator fly, hi viz parachute adams size 22/24, point fly midge dry or midge emerger size 24/26. Fish 5x to the indicator 6x to the point. I've had great luck casting 2 emergers w/o an indicator to rises. Haven't had much luck on terrestrials or hoppers, but I hear they can be death on the fish there. I think the times I've been down there havn't been conducive to terrs/hoppers

    It's Lot#3, Munoz between Simon point downstream and Texas Hole upstream. I think it's 5$ to park

    You can cast dries to your hearts content. Give Baetis Bend a try

    Yes, it's a great fishery for sure. And yes, many places that don't see the crowds as much. Great, amazing fishery. Like most any other water if you know where to go you can get away from the crowds. We've had amazing days there. Now I'm itching to go. Just got back from a week on the White River near Meeker. So the Juan is going to have to wait. So will the monster burritos at El Pescador

    Camped at Red Bridge a couple of years ago. Fishing was fantastic.

    Myself, my son, my buddy and his son hit the Juan at least twice every year. March/April before the Dam turns over and then usually late summer early fall. What a fantastic fishery. Tiny flies, BIG fish, HUGE fun. [edit] There are places on the river that don't see as much "combat" fishing as others.[/edit]

    3 weighted nymphs, maybe a bit more weight and perhaps an indicator, roll cast is THE way to go
  12. Sandan
    aquel before I even cast. If the fly gets eaten (hopefully, hahaha) wash in the river, a brush with Shimazake powder and back to fishing it. When the fly sinks, wash, powder reapply the aquel.

    For me it would depend on the time of the year. For instance I'm leaving for the White river near Meeker, CO on Saturday the 22nd of July. I'm going to depend on an iron sally nymph (16 and 14) as well as a C.P.S. (Caddis-PMD-Sally) again 14 and 16 or a missing link in the same sizes. That missing link has been killer so far this season. This is for freestone rivers. I'll have more stuff tied of course, but those are what I'd be starting with if I could only bring a very limited fly selection. redietz: I like the Partridge and orange idea. Thanks

    iron sallies size 14 and 16: chubby sallies 14 and 12:
  15. Sandan
    The water on the Arky is a bit high but dropping. https://www.royalgorgeanglers.com/fishing-reports/ http://www.arkanglers.com/ Stimis, caddis, PMDs, yellow sallies are all good. 14-18 with the high flows. Don't forget some hoppers too

    I searched the 'net for high power reading glasses. go to www.readers.com They will have just what you need. I used to use a magnifying lamp but it's decidedly inferior to readers. Of course a nice bright lamp is key too

    You guys all do such cool stuff. I'm working on hackle stackers. size 22, kind BWO/adams-y. olive dun 8/0 Uni thread, CDL tail, Whiting grizzly hackle, BWO superfine body and thorax.
  18. Sandan
    I'm no pro but I'm using the same vise and it has been just great so far.
  19. Sandan
    Some very impressive ties gents. Quite inspiring. Here's my quick size 26 parachute Adams. My morning meeting was boring so.... Finally. I did snip that one stray hackle at the eye

    Bobbin

    Sandan replied to Hannah118's topic in Beginner's Corner

    cabela's ceramic bobbin 10 bucks. Umpqua dream stream ceramic bobbin as AvidMax 12 bucks. Both work just fine and dandy for me.
  21. Sandan
