    Fresh steelies just crush white zonkers......Stone flies are deadly....and throw in some caddis flies....and of course a good assortment of egg patterns work.

    Just about anything works up there.  Nymphs and eggs are your most popular up there.  If its a good day up there with good water level, they will hit just about anything.

    Fish the patterns you feel good about when fishing for stocked rainbows. Its that simple, takes the worry out of fly selection. Now you can relax and consentrate on presentation.
