    All depends on the creek conditions, the clearer the smaller, the muddier the bigger, colors can change daily.

    May the holes in your net be no larger than the fish in it.

    Take some egg pattern in size 12-16 white, pink, chartruese, peach, yellow. A few buggers in white, black, olive. And some nymphs Pheasant tails,stone flys the smaller the better. That should give you sufficient options for any conditions.

     yeah what he said. 

    Try bright colors for darker water and natural for clearer.  You'll likely run into clearer type water with a nice green tint in the deeper holes.  You could try a dead drifted bugger or a mickey finn.  A light pink or off colored peach in SS is always a good bet with green water.  Size 12-14.

    Pink and Black Egg suckin Leeches have worked for me. As well as olive wollys, and SS patterns like Silver said. Good luck up there! any Idea as to where you'll go?

    I like salmon.
    I like trout.
    I don't eat no steelhead.
    They'll give you the gout.
