Hi Alan
My name is sandy and I'm a dryfly addict
Seriously though , I think we all do things slightly differently so you will get different ideas, try them all and see what suits you
I fish a 5wt outfit with a 4x tippet/tapered leader and very rarely fish anything other than a single size 12 or 14 fly. I'm always hunting down the bigger ones and you will find them near features in the river, even on slower
stretches. Rocks , trees, even weed will provide some structure that affects the current and brings food to the fish, so look for creases in the water or any disturbances that will help track the fish down
Be as quiet and low profile as you can be not to spook them, the clear water just now has the fish pretty jumpy a bit of colour and the fish get more confident.
The last few evenings the better fish haven't started till after 1030 and are still sucking down small caddis after midnight. A size 14 CDC and elk has been pretty good for me although it's not quite what they are after but they will take it in the darkness eventually
Lots of watching will help and there are fish taking small olives early evening so a small DHE 14/16 or similar dry like a greenwells, grey duster or hares ear may also work.
Drag is your biggest issue
with dryfly, so work on casting that introduces a bit of slack, wiggling the rod tip during the fwd cast is the easiest way and that will help.
Have fun, keep your eyes and ears peeled and take your time, it's worth it, but be careful it's addictive
Cheers
Sandy
