CDC and elk for surface/film. HE soft hackle throughout the water column. Lafontaine pupa when I feel like tying them.

A Fox's Poopah in tan or olive has been a good one for me. Seems like you can't fish this one wrong.

Of course the traditionalist in me says a partridge and green, partridge and orange, gray hackle peacock, brown hackle peacock, Pass Lake, or any number of other soft hackles and hair wing wets.

And you can't go wrong with a LaFontaine style pupa, as many here have testified.

Sounds like a caddis larva to me. A pupa is basically the emerger.

Not my picture, but this is ecactly how I tie it.
