     The following list of flies is general list of patterns that are effective over a large portion of the year or will prepare you for the most predominant hatches. A large variety of patterns will prove effective when fishing these two streams. Thus this is not a complete list. This list is only a general guideline that will point you toward flies that have consistently caught fish from year to year. More specific information on fly selection can be found here in the recommended fly lists for specific seasons.
