Yes I am, so it's going to Yosemite in a few weeks, but I have no idea what are the best flies to purchase. Please, if anyone can list the most productive flies have been used or in Yosemite. Also, if you can list the names of the flies and the size of "Thank moscas.

Hey Michael! Do you know where fishing … Tuolumne? Merced? Other? You will not find the selectivity to be a problematic issue in the park, especially during the peak summer season. Wait hatch the activity to be very limited in range and duration. My suggestion to you would mostly be adhere to the attraction patterns in general (not specific to hatch) patterns. DRIES I will list first, because it bears on the surface are very funny … and you should find enough fish for food on the surface this time of year. 1. Humpies: various colors, standard, or "real" 14-18 2. Trude: Lime, Yellow, Royal, Black 12-16 3. Parachute Adams, Hare's Ear, 14-18 4. Goddard Caddis 14-16 5. Elk Hair Caddis 14-18 6. Henryville (Caddis imitation downwing) 14-16 7. Hemingway Caddis 14-18 8. Ants: Black, Tan, 14-16 Flying 9. Stimulator: Tan or any other 12-16 10. "Catskill" Style Ties (if desired): Adams, PMD, Red Quill, etc. Now for some nymphs: 1. Prince: Standard Beadhead 12-16 2. Pheasant Tail: Std, BH, or 14-18 Flashback 3. Bird's Nest: Natural 12-14 4. Copper John: Natural, red, green, etc.. 12-16 5. Poopah Fox 6. Dark Lord 12-16 7. Gold Ribbed Hare Earpiece: 12-16 8. Red Squirrel Nymph 12-14 9. LaFontaine Caddis Larva 14-16 10. AP Puyans' Nymph: Black, Peacock 12-16 Although there are certainly others that I could recommend, I think I'd do pretty well, selecting one of those listed. The sizes are only suggestions … no need to carry more than one or two sizes of one pattern. I also bring a few basic emergers you. The Cripple Quigley and special Klinhamer walk in the surface film and suggest new and ephemeral caddisflies respectively. "Soft Hackles" would also fish well. As I mentioned, hatch activity will be weak and intermittent. Caddis addition, on the only reliable hatch you'll find this time of year PMDS. Having some nymphs, parachute, emergers, and / or spinners PMDS imitation could be beneficial. I leave aside the streamers of any kind (including buggers) and do not think this type of fishing necessary (or fun) at this time of year, and it distracts from the pleasure of fishing for trout with a light cane.
