ED, Edd, & Eddy,
How soon we forget in our old age! What about the great Trico &
Whitefly hatches. Our caddis and beloved BWW. If that isn't enough we
have hoppers, battles ants ECT. How about those vegetarian trout the
berry & twig eaters. Ed is right April thru July are the best. Good
dry fly action can be had as early as March.

I think you need to consider Michigan! Best dry fly would be
April-June. Mid-June - end of June in Michigan is hex season - BIG dry
flies in the dark! There are several VFBers who would be glad to host
you and show you the ropes!

Living would be easier if men showed as much patience at
home as they do when they're fishing.
