After a week of fishing the Beaverhead and Poindexter Slough, we have narrowed down some flies the fish seem to be keying in on.
Nymphs:
Soft Hackle Sow Bug (Pink) - Size 16
CDC Red Lightning Bug Soft Hackle – size 16
Grey Ray Charles – Size 18
Assorted Midge Larva (Black, Olive) - Sizes 18, 20, 22
Flashback PT’s – Size 18, 20
Streamers:
Black/Olive – Size 4, 6
Black – Size 4, 6
Yellow Yummy – Size 4, 6
Dries:
We have seen fish eat a dry here or there but nothing too consistent to have a detailed report. Small midge patters like an Adams or even a Trico imitation will take rising fish.
There are other flies that will take fish aside from these bugs. However, we have found over the past week that the above selection is your best bet for fishing consistency.
