Yeah, and probably the most difficult type of hole for me.  Slow, Long and Deep.   I'm fishing the inside of the bend, water flowing from right to left.  The far side is unwadable and is tight by spinning standards.  Roll casting from the inside is easily done.  Rising fish are few and far between and nothing rising steadily.  Baits of choice are nightcrawlers and salted minnows (I think) suspended below a float.

        Most of your dry patterns would be a bust I think.  I've never really seen anything hatching off the hole.  A green or mean (red) weenie might work and I've never been comfortable tying a big San Juan Worm.  I just don't have much confidence in them.  I'm still new at getting a streamer to 'work' properly, mostly a dredger/nympher type fisher. 

        This is a stocker stream and I'll get the name as soon as I find my PA Atlas and Gazetteer.

Bait fishermen are outfishing you???  You're using the wrong fly.  Tell the list what the conditions are and let's see who can come up with a perfect flybox for you.  I'll begin without even knowing what kind of water and ammend it later when you respond.  Here it is;

Green Weenie #18, Copper/Burgundy Killer Caddis #16, Yellow Humpy #18, PTN #16, Tan CDC & ELK #16, Brown Stone Nymph #12... next?
