What to tie on at 21st Street Pond Park Access
Picked from recent reports for this stretch.
Mother's Day Caddis
The prolific Mother's Day Caddis hatch is expected in late April through May, making this dry fly a perfect imitation for adult caddis.
Tactical Peeping Caddis TH Jig
Caddis are actively emerging in spring, and this jig nymph is effective for targeting larger fish on undercut banks.
Blue-Winged Olive Comparadun
Blue-Winged Olives are actively hatching in early spring, especially on overcast days, and this low-profile dry fly is excellent for selective trout feeding on emergers and adults.
Pine Squirrel Leech (Olive)
Small leech patterns effectively mimic sluggish baitfish and annelids in cold water, enticing strikes from larger, lethargic trout in early spring.
Flashback Pheasant Tail Nymph
An excellent general searching nymph for early spring, mimicking various mayfly nymphs (including BWOs) that are active year-round and particularly as BWOs begin to emerge.
Glo Bug (Orange)
Resident trout and char, including Rainbow Trout, Dolly Varden, and Arctic Grayling, remain keyed into egg patterns year-round, particularly with the upcoming spring rainbow spawn.
Zebra Midge (Black)
Midges are a primary active insect even in cold water, making this a staple year-round pattern. It's highly effective for enticing finicky Rainbow Trout, Dolly Varden, and Arctic Grayling.
Tungsten Bead Pat's Rubber Legs
Immature stoneflies are always present. A weighted Rubber Legs is excellent for getting down to fish and imitating larger insects, especially before stonefly hatches.
