Just wondering what patterns are good for the SR. I whipped together a bunch of single eggs last night in chartreuse, orange roe, cheese, and pink size 10. I was thinking of making a few with a white veil. Funny thing is I had no veil material until I looked at our Halloween lights that are still up and saw the fake spider web material hanging on them which will make a excellent veil. I don't want too many patterns because that just makes fishing more difficult, too many choices in my box can drive me crazy.
I am also bringing a variety of stoneflies, prince nymphs, wooly buggers etc.. Any others I should have???

i am going to tie some myself. Everyone i've spoken to on this fly says to keep it simple. no more than 4 wraps of estaz. Also, you can tie them in all the normal egg colors.

I like a size 10 2457 for most eggs \ numphs, Will sometimes go to 14,12 but never bigger than 10.
