Favorite flies for the uintas?

[Jonthecook]

I'm headed up to the north slope of the uintas next week, and I plan on putting some serious hours onto my fly rod. My question is what types of flies work best up there? so far i have heard to use elk hair caddis, renegades, and flying ants. Does anyone have any other helpful suggestions?

Mosquitos and Adams always work for me up there.

Which sizes work best up there?

Size 16 or 14 grey hackle peacock - similar to a renegade is my go to.

The fish are not nearly as picky as fish near populated areas. Mosquito will do well also.

I agree with grey hackle peacocks in 14 or 16

Use any dry fly that floats high on the water. Great top water action. When the surface action slows down, put a nymph underneath your dry, maybe 2 or 3 feet down. I've caught as many fish on the underwater nymph as I have on the dry. My favorites are either a gnat or parachute fly on top and a flashback haresear or prince nymph on the bottom. Use bead head nymphs to help keep the nymph low under your dry fly.

Terrestrials like ants and beetles have done really well for me in addition to the patterns already mentioned. Also small mohair leeches have done well for me. Some basic nymphs like a hare's ear can be good too.

Agree with stated above.... elk hair caddis, renegade, mosquito and ants should do you well.

I always stick with size 14+. Fish aren't always big but action can be fast and furios. The trout feed intensely on top at dusk. I've always had more luck setting hooks with the smaller sizes.

Good luck!

Bead head Prince has always been good for me size 10-14.

I love to use #14 Renegades and royal coachman for top water, and have had great success with a small woolly bugger once the top water action has slowed.

Last summer we killed the grayling on a #18 (I don't know the technical name) white hackle and purple body fly.

Let us know how you do up there

Don't forget about small frog poppers, mouse, and woolly buggers in size 4-12.

We always did really well with brown or green wooly worms with black or gray hackle size 10-14 years ago.

Ok this may sound weird, small small yellow 1/16 oz jig. Also maribou jigs can work? I heard about it, let me know if it works.

Here's one to tie: #16, pale orange yarn body, brown hackle & tail. My fav.

Jigs work exceptionally well, especially well on brook trout. I Prefer marabous in black, brown, or olive. 1/16 ounce thrown on 6 on. Nanofil.
