The Duchesne

[zack_birkinshaw]

So I've never fished the Duchesne before. Has anyone been lately? What patterns have been successful? Are there any patterns that are generally a favorite for those fish?

I went to the North Fork a couple of weeks ago and we slaughtered em on hoppers, stimulators, adams, and the royal wulff. We were using the Joe's hopper. The bright green and yellow stimulators worked very well. I spoke to a guy at Sportsmans the other day who did very well on a mosquito pattern up there, so I assume that a mosquito would also work well. We tried some nymphs in the deeper holes and didn't catch any, all the ones we got were taken on dries. I know some of the other guys that posted a couple weeks ago went to the West Fork, so maybe they can chime in on what works there. I know there are bigger fish in the lower West Fork (where the North Fork meets the West). We easily caught over 50 fish a day (bows and brooks), but the largest we got was about 14 inches. Good luck.
