Last Sunday on Nunnally, fly size seemed most important. The 8 or so
guys around me were all catching fish on small chironomids, size 16,
18 or even 20. Fish didn't seem to care for size 14 or larger.
I don't think pattern was nearly as important. One that worked for me
was tied on a #18 Tiemco 2487 with a simple body of pearl flashabou
wrapped around the shank, a couple wraps of peacock herl for the
thorax, and a clear red or pearl glass bead for the head, fished
about 2 feet under a strike indicator on a 6x tippet.
Other guys were catching fish using black or clear v-rib or thread
bodies or bloodworm patterns. One guy was doing pretty well using a
slime line and no indicator with a really slow retrieve.
