those look like they will slay. crystal buggers on a jighead. $$

Thanks for that report ,I was wondering about taking my step daughters there and was looking for info, looks like a trip to Athens is in store

No problem, hope the trip went well!

Fished Bethany today but used UL Spinning Gear. Did breakout the fly rod briefly and had a couple of strikes but none landed. Did make it to Waterloo Friday and caught a number using Near Deere and the fly rod! Near worked well on the stockers! Video.

Sent sample fishing flies to a Reader; looks like the Near Deere took one and the Guadaulupana took trout, then a spinner to closeout the limit! Pictures.

Here is a quick sped up video of the Olive Near Deere that we fished with today to limit out... Video.

Mike's Mohair Leech / Dave's Midge / Olive & Grizzly Wooly Buggers / Scuds - This are my 'go-to' flies for trout in Missouri

Blue Poison Tung / Zebra Midge / Stimulators - Colorado

San Juan worm / Elk Hair Caddis / Copper Johns - New Mexico

Cool!

Near Deere Give Away - Round 3 #flyfishing

No question that my three best trout flies would be a Parachute Adams, Red Beadhead Zebra Midge, and Mayer's Mini Leech. TK

Cool!

Here is a quick tie of one of the three suggested fishing flies we like to have at the ready in our fly box when fishing for trout. Mixed up the video this time by adding background info, the recipe for the pattern, suggestions for fishing the GRHEN, along with the video of us tying one. This variant uses a bead head and pheasant tail instead of hares ear guard hairs for the the tail of the fishing fly. Do give it a try!
