Matt,
What color patterns do you recommend for the Iris Caddis, specifically the body, shuck, tail and head color combos. Do they matter as much or is it the shape that matters more?
I was ready to tie and printed the fly image in black and white.
I couldnt figure it out, so tied Pheasant tail emergers instead.
Also, have you ever fished the NBRR around Far Hills?
Yesterday, I fished the Natirar property and caught small smallmouths and sunnies, although I did hook up with a nice brown. Just looking for your thoughts on this river.
The temps on it are borderline right now. 69 degrees in the morning.
Thanks.
