This fly mimics the Columbia Valley Orchard Cicada. Trout seek out this large terrestrial during hatches as it makes a hearty meal.

This fly is productive in the spring, early summer and fall. It is visible from a distance and can entice trout to bite when little else can.

This pattern imitates a long-body “swimmer” mayfly and is productive when fished with bump and tug motions in back eddies.

This fly is a very good performer in the shallow fast runs and in small streams, and catches the trout’s attention from a very long distance.

This is great pattern for drifting the back-eddies and runs. Use an indicator in May and June for some great back eddy action, and fish the runs from August to October.

This red bloodworm chironomid is one of Rod’s favorite nymphing patterns, and is used 4-10 feed down with a split shot weight and an indicator.
