what are some good early june flys?

@BuddyWackIt369 By early June there are a range of hatches in full swing. Mayflies in your arsenal should include sulphurs, hendricksons, gray & brown drakes. Also the stone-flies begin to hatch now = little yellows and big browns. Caddis should include the american grannom and the little green caddis, and small sedges. Keep a range of elk hair caddis hand. I like the rhycophilla and hydropsyche larva as well. You can see some of these on my blog at wifly.wordpress

Glad you enjoyed. Not the Fox River though although that is also a great fishery and I highly recommend trying. This is further east...

Wow, beautiful trout. I would love to try some small stream fishing like that, what stream is that and where is it?

@MichiganTroutMan There are plenty of brooks to go around down here, you just got to find em. I know of several streams with class brooks in em. You just got to be ambitious.
