Hey all,
I'v been having a bit of luck throwing stoneflies and some small pheasant tails in the lower Bow of late. I'v heard they're nailing midges pretty hard. Any colour and pattern recommendations before I head out tomorrow?

When trout are midging, you'd probably do better on a South Platte Brassie fished under a yarn indicator..

2X fished just under the surface. Grease up your leader to about one foot before the fly and tie on a simple yarn indicator 3-4 feet up, or watch the line.

Cheers,

fish on!
