kjackson Spawner Registered: 06/12/01 Posts: 557 Loc: Port Townend, WA	Gentlemen-- I've been talked into a trip to the east side the first week of April. We'll be staying in the Sun Lakes area for a couple of nights and fishing will pretty much be limited to small boats, pontoons and on foot. I'm looking for any fly help. I know of the usual suspects: chironomids, buggers, leeches, and the traditional flies. But I haven't fly fished in this area for about 20 years. Is there some secret weapon I must have? I need to start tying now to be ready in time. What would you pack? Sizes? Colors? Thanks, Keith

Then Dry Falls Lake is a great float tube or pontoon lake. Try chronomids, streamers, damselflys and other classic lake flies for big rainbows. _________________________ They say that the man that gets a Ph.D. is the smart one. But I think that the man that learns how to get paid to fish is the smarter one.

Thanks, Keith [/b] I respectfully suggest you check the rules before you fish Dry Falls as it is not open until the, whoops, never mind!!!
