who's been thinking about grannoms?

We should definitley meet up for the grannoms. Even if we miss them, the little black caddis are just as heavy and tie into the end of the grannom hatch. They last a while longer than the grannoms.

grannoms go from size 12 -18 right slappy ?

I was planning on doing a tutorial of a wet fly once I get around to it.  I think i tie them in size 14.  Green butt for the egg, then use peacock herl or peacock herl dubbing for the body.  Wrap it to the front then make a wrap or two with a hungarian partridge feather.   You can use other hackle too.  I prefer the HPF. 
 
You'll hear us talking about it here once the time comes.  There'll be one or two of us checking the lower river daily when April rolls around.  The hatches on the J start down there and work their way up so they'll be one or more of us fishing it each day.  If not, Allan at SCO will keep us filled in.

I think we have the same here, not real intense but I couldn't tell you for sure.  Drake would know.  I wouldn't mind doing some fishing then.  I usually don't start fishing for trout until the grannoms.

I have always heard alot about the hatch.....never fished it.  Now that I live here I would definately like to try to hit it.

Anyone have any good recipes for the grannoms?

 
My favorite grannom pattern is:
 
standard dryfly hook 14 or 16
Natural cdc wing
black dubbed body
poly or z-lon shuck trailing behind
 
this pattern looks a lot like the grannoms that are just coming out of thier clear shuck on or near the surface of the water. Trout really seem to key in on that stage.

I was talking about the little black stonefly before the grannoms.   Like in March. ??  I've never tried it.  You ?

Grannoms?

grannoms dries.  i tie them with a black fine poly body and bear hair for the wing. tie in like a caddis. #16-#18. standard dry hook. just my 2cents.
 
for an emerger i use the same material, only tie in the wing (bear hair) tips facing the hook eye. wrap the thread 1/3 way back from the hook eye. fold the wing tips back and wrap overtop the pulled back wing at the 1/3rd  point and tie off there. the head looks like a bullet. i use this as a dry fly on the way down stream. when it gets near the end of the drift i twitch it to make it sink and then bring it in like an emerger lifting my rod tip. i do this with caddis flies also when i think the trout are hitting emergers more than the dries. i tie some of these in #14's also
