The flow is cold, clear and metered by a dam instead of the weather, the bugs run small and consistent year-round, and the trout have seen every pattern in your box twice. Success comes down to a narrow band of scuds, sow bugs, worms and midges — fished small, fished precisely, and fished deep.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis assortment is built for exactly that. Thirty-six flies across twelve proven tailwater patterns, spanning the four food groups that carry a tailwater trout through the year: \u003cstrong\u003escuds\u003c\/strong\u003e for the weed-bed crustaceans that never stop being available, \u003cstrong\u003esow bug imitations\u003c\/strong\u003e in the Ray Charles mold, \u003cstrong\u003eworms\u003c\/strong\u003e for high or off-color releases, and \u003cstrong\u003emidges and small mayfly nymphs\u003c\/strong\u003e for the technical days when nothing else gets eaten.
