The Five Best Flies for Mountain Trout Streams for Summer and Fall

This list has been carefully refined and gave us great mountain trout fishing from July until Fall in 2016. I believe they will be great in 2017.

Murray’s Flying Beetle size 14 and size 16
Mr. Rapidan Ant size 16 and size 18
Murray’s Professor Dry size 14 and size 16
Murray’s Housefly size 14 and size 16
Mr. Rapidan Olive Soft Hackle Nymph size 16

These are the flies I rely on from July until Fall for our wild trout in our mountain streams. In July I usually use the largest sizes listed. I then go down to the smallest sizes in August and September. I fish all of these flies on Murray’s Classic 9 foot 6X Leader unless the streams are very low. Then I go to a Murray’s Classic 9 foot 7X Leader.
