Favorite still-water dry fly???

[FlySmyth]

What dries do you use when that midge hatch comes off at sunset? I don't know why but I can't get any fish during that hatch. I have tried several midge patterns and bwo and oh heck everything in the box. Please help if you can.

My favorite still water dry fly is a wooly bugger.

I like my stillwater dries with a tungsten cone.

That's probably the problem...don't use a dry. Use an emerger or something suspended a varying depths beneath an indicator. Dennis' slip-indicators are the bomb for this type of fishing. We had some excellent days fishing this method on stillwaters last year. If you're sure they're taking the adults, just fish a big griffith's or bunny midge and trail the emerger from that. I like the Chromie for the emerger/pupa.

Another thing to do is skate or twitch the dry fly if you're going to fish up top.

#12 Orange Asher or grease up a blue AP emerger & skate it through the surface film.

Speak of the devil, I had a ball using an orange asher on a local stillwater a few weeks ago. No takers unless I twitched or skated it...

Size 12 CBS BLOOD leech.

AP emerger works as well.

Try the loon putty for an indicator. Totally removable in a bind.
