Here are last years five best early season mountain trout flies from March until June. I plan to strongly rely on these five flies this year also.
– Mr. Rapidan Parachute Dry size 14 and size 16
– Spirit of Pittsford Mills Dry size 14 and size 16
– Murray’s Sulphur Dry size 16
– Mr. Rapidan Bead Head Nymph size 14
– Murray’s Little Yellow Stonefly Dry size 16
During March and April I fish these flies on a Murray’s Classic 9 foot 5X Leader. During May and June I use Murray’s Classic 9 foot 6X Leader. These flies listed above match our early season aquatic hatches so I use them to fish one-on-one to the rising trout. If the hatches are spare I use the same flies to cover the water by carefully fishing the feeding stations.
