Moving up to 14 and 12's. I will wait till the rivers get off color before I start moving up to size 6.
Right now starts a smorgasbord of insect larva/nymph, ranging from size 30 to about size 10. That is what I am noticing. I am sure it varies from river to river, and region to region.

Wayne, that's quite a group. I'm sorry you didn't get a chance to try them out this weekend, but I know these work very well for you.

Wayne,
Those caddis larva really look alive crawling around on your fly line in the last photo. I am sure the trout would agree! Nice looking flies.

Sorry, Wayne. My admiration of those flies still stands.

I am always amazed at the different shades of color that can occur in the Hydropsyche in just a few miles on the same river. The Mayfly, and Stone nymphs, not so much.
