Oh great, we'll both end up piled up like debris at the downwind side of the lake. I misread the temps, it looks more like 33 and 45, but that's still not too bad. It's not thunderstorms or sleet.
Here's my top performer. The fish key on olive and black. For dries, the basic BWO works ok, but don't count on a hatch this time of year. The name of the game is streamers fished in the top three feet of water. Utility bug: hook - size 6 or 8 3x long streamer hook body - black chenille (I really like to use a chartruese butt as well) tail - mallard flank dyed olive hackle - mallard flank dyed olive wrap about 8 wraps of .030 lead close to the eye, tie in 7-10 fibers for the tail, about 1/4 long, tie in 4 wraps of chartruese chenille for the butt, then finish the body with black chenille (or just do all black if you want) Tie in a mallard flank feather, tip first, at the eye. fold the hackle back and wrap it in wet fly style at the collar. The hackle should be as long or a little longer than the shank of the hook. hackle it pretty heavily. tie it off; its a goo idea to make sure you lock in the hackle so it doesn't slide forward. It's a quick tie and it's tough; it won't fall apart after one fish. The other one to try is a simple black wooly bugger but replace the black hackle with grizzly schlappen hackle dyed olive, or a wooly bugger with a burgundy tail, brown fuzzy body and grizzly hackle dyed orange. Only take 3-4 wraps of hackle - leave it sparse. See you Sunday.
