Pheasant Tails and BWOs work well along with a ton of different midges. your flies are going to be small # 18-24 and you tippet light 6x-7x. Mysis shrimp are a good fly as well, best used in the first 1/4 mile from the dam. There are some big fish in there and with this years high water I bet alot of them have been pushed down from the toilet bowl. Dont overlook the roaring fork which is right there as well. There are some killer hatchs right at dusk and the fishing is not as techy. I have stayed at the aspenalt right iin basalt for like 120.00/night and the green drake as well. There are some cabins up the frying pan road but they might be a little pricey. The riverside grill is right on the river next to the fly shop and it is a pretty good time. My buddy luke and I closed it one night........made for a long following day. Shoot me a PM before you come out. I am an 1.5 from there. j- Back to top drunkff Newbie Joined: Jun 16, 2008 Posts: 6 Posted: Tue Jun 17, 2008 7:48 am    Post subject: thanks guys, thats some great info. we are going to be camping the entire time, might want to stay a night or two at one of the pay camp sites, to wash up an all. where all in the building business, so cash is tight. will be out there from th3 to the 10th to the 20th. really cant wait. might close the diner a night or two ourselves Back to top PatrickHilbert Newbie Joined: Feb 23, 2008 Posts: 11 Posted: Sun Jun 22, 2008 11:47 am    Post subject: Hey i fished the frying pan and the roaring fork last year all with dries. hoppers, PMDs and caddis had some huge fish. good luck.
