your favorite go-to trout fly. (Utah/Idaho)
That area of the west is where I learned to flyfish, with many memorable years spent exploring the waters. For Idaho and Utah, I would feel really flyless without: dry: #14-#16 Renegade, lakes: #8-#12 Sheep Creek nymph (Biggs fly). For bigger rivers, add: #10 yellow Humpy.
Also in my list of must-haves: #16 parachute Adams, #14 Royal Wulff, #12 Prince nymph.
Brings back great memories.
