Thank you. I am headed there in mid-May to fish the Nature Conservancy section. Beautiful country!

Rinsed and boiled with sequentially boiled veggies.

THANK YOU everyone! It's been like a doctoral research seminar, reading your responses. I have learned much from your ideas and recommendations! I am beginning the journey by visiting a local fly shop and trying their recommendation. If that does not feel right, I will explore your...
