A note about flies, uglier the better (my opinion). The big bushy dark flys will often outperform the more attractive patterns. This by no means is always true, but I hook far more fish (in the fall-late winter) on patterns like the egg sucking leech. I like 'em tied with schlappen and heavily weighted. 4-1/0 depending on clarity and water speed/depth. Slow presentation is definitely the way to go. Good luck.
