Flies for ultra clear water

Post by GJorgy » Wed Sep 17, 2008 8:31 am

OK I had pretty good luck on Kellog the other day with an olive wooley bugger in ultra clear water. What other flies would you suggest for water like that. I was catching cutthroat by the way.

Check out my report on Marshall Lake. It's probably the cleanest lake in the state. You can see the bottom in over 30 feet of water. Great fishing too.

Thanks Jo! I was having good luck until I poked my head over the beaver dam to unsnag my fly and scattered every fish in the pool! ](*,)
