I have been using Blue Wing Olive, Emerger, RS2, Olive Body, Dun Wing in a size 22 on 6X or 7X tippet on my recent trips to the Elk River in West Virginia. Water levels have been quite low and it is generally gin clear. Today I brought 6 to hand (all rainbows) with only one being less than 18" in length. I hooked what appeared to be about a 24" fish and after 2 jumps and a short run he broke off. Lots of small fish around but the big ones seemed to want this little fly. Last couple outings have been the same.
