Upper K Lake

[Quiksilverj76]

Hi all:

I am doing a 3 day/2 night backpacking trip in the upper K lake area and packing in all that I need to be there for the trip. I won't have a ton of space for fishing gear, but I am going to take in my fly rod with some flies, bit of tippet etc. not like my normal gear preparation (vest/back pack/many fly cases etc.). So trying to go as minimal as possible, taking my 4 pc 4 wt (or would you recommend a 6 wt), and a few flies in my rod case. What dries/nymphs are working right now on upper K?

Thanks

I'd take the 6wt, also gives you the opportunity to fish for bulls

try small orange nymphs, not sure what dries would work.

for bulls throw big white streamers

Micro leeches in brown, green and black. Nymph them under an indicator.

100' from the boat launch. 15' depth 12' off of shore. Tie each leech 12" apart. If the start hitting one colour of the others then switch em up. Don't take bananas and wear sunscreen.

Are you actually getting away from the Upper lake, - aster, three isle, maude? Trout up at those lakes aren't picky, though Aster is usually very cloudy/muddy.

I lol'd hard on this one. You sir have won an all inclusive guided walleye trip to lake x. You'll have to run the sunscreen into my back though.
