>>958498Pretty sure I'm the guy you saved tying pics from in an earlier fly fishing thread. You're getting much better, that bead head woolly bugger looks great. I still cringe at the tail on that caddis but if it fishes it fishes.
You have any luck finding fish in creeks near your area? Post pics
Concerning your July trip: as others have said fly patterns are dependent upon the species you're targeting. Look up what people fish for in the lake you're going to.
Imo targeting pike and Muskie with a 4/5wt rod is a lost cause. It will be hard as shit to turn over big flies and landing will be an issue. I would focus on the bass and sunfish in the lake or look into buying an 8 or 9wt setup.
