Excellent flies, staple for us trout FFers. I also started tying red bh pheasant tails with dyed pheasant tail, it really looks good. Gives a nice "red" tinge to the classic original. Can't keep planters off of them! Also caught a 23" bow on one last year at the CR, back when I was killing them over there.

Perhaps the best pattern for trout lake waters I have ever used is a bh bugger (black, maroon, brown, white, etc) and a large bh hares ear trailer! They love to hit that bh hares ear trailer! I must have gone through a couple dozen of them with my last trip out west, the fish just tore them to pieces! I've been tying and restocking all winter long for my next trip....I'll be going to Northern UT in February and doing some FFin on the Provo and Weber rivers. Can't wait!

Sounds like a good trip Rich. And I hope that they will hit the same fly this year for you. But that might have changed due to weather , or current hatch, or moon phase , water level. Well you already know all of that. Just a reminder to take a big assortment in quantity. It would **** if you find out they are tearing up a different fly. That you only brought a couple of. That reminds me. Mental note to self ! TAKE MY TYING STUFF WITH ON TRIP !
But do I really want to fish all day. And tie flies into the wee hours of the night. Then do it all over again the next day??? That sounds like a Job
But if the fish are there? It would be worth it !

The TUG IS THE DRUG!!!!
