[center][font "Garamond"][#008000][size 4]A little research found that these are the most popular flies for the Upper Kern. Well I guess that I will be the judge of that statement.[/size][/#008000][/font]

That is a big selection. I can help you keep the inventory down by telling you the 3 most useful from your list.

Royal Wulff, Birds Stonefly Nymph, and Olive Wooley Bugger.

Those are the only 3 that have produced for me on just about any time of the year over there.[cool]

[font "Garamond"][#008000][size 4]While I have tied most of the flies that were listed, I haven't tied nor have any Birds Stonefly Nymphs. Since that is one that you recommend TN2, I did a Google Image search of the BSN and interestingly enough in additions to several versions of the fly that were shown but also a map out lining the Kern River. Guess that I will have to tie a few since MacFly has yet to volunteer his services. Just kidding my friend.[/size][/#008000][/font]
