Flies for dollies up here can vary with the season but there are some than consistently work. Glo bugs, Alevins, wooly buggers, various sculpin patterns and varios small minow patters. In the fall in the rivers with salmon Egg patterns like glo bugs, Gormans Bead eggs or illimna pinkies are deadly as well as flesh flies. In the spring imitations that imitate small salmon or minnows are awesome. Also famous trout patterns work well too, hare ears, pheasant tails nymphs and prince nymphs all work well especially on sunny days when fish are spooky. Elk hair caddises also work well.
