ADVICE ON WHAT FLIES TO TAKE TO IDAHO

ok if you where going on a 2 week backpacking trip to the saw thooth mountains of idaho,, and you where gonna be fishing every day..what are some of the key flies you would have in your box...

im takeing spinning gear for the heck of it but i wanna stock up on some flies before i go

so please help me make a list..and size so i can make up a idaho box

locals told me to have

Honestly, #8 Royal Coachman and a Few Hornburg flys and you'll do just fine!

awsome so im takeing (dont mind me just making a list so i can run to the fly shop and get some flies...)



#8 Royal Coachman
Hornburg flys
Yellow Humpies 12-14
Grasshoppers (something buoyant, i.e deer hair headed patterns) 10-12
Beadhead Prince Nymphs 14-16
Bead head wolly buggers



 

Synister,
      Just a hint, if you are going to fish the grasshoppers fish them about 2-3 feet (or less) away from undercut banks with grass on them.  Many BIG western trout hold under these undercuts and hardly move except to amnbush food.   Also as strange as it may sound a black ant, red ant and a mosquito do well also.  And something in a 18-20 black midge type pattern.  If you can find a pattern that looks like a spider about 10-12 that can also do well if fished close to shore.  Enjoy your trip.

I'll second what indsguiz said above, pretty much anywhere there's a bend in a stream there's an undercut bank, and it's a really effective method to catch the bigger fish on dries, stop your cast a little early so the hopper hits the surface of the water first and makes a plop.  Instead of following all the way through from 10-2 stop a little short and lift your elbow so the fly hits first....it's like ringing the dinnerbell to those fish that are impossible to see.
