Q:
I love fishing high mountain streams with my 8' #4 or 7' #5 fly rods. I use 15 flies comprised of 6 patterns. I fish the northern Rockies above 6,000'. One pattern is Wooly Bugger. Any guesses for the other well performing patterns?

Black Ant, Kauffman Stimulator, Adams, Copper John, GRHE.
Thats two
Yellow Humpy, Griffith Gnat, Pheasant Tail Nymph and you Western guys love the B!tch Creek Nymph.
Copper John, Whitlock's Sculpin, Mickey Finn, Silver Fox,Pink Big-Eyed Shiner, Marabou Leech. Actually,where you fish, the high-gradient, boulder-strewn rivers of the Rockies support large numbers of sculpins. So that said, the Butt Monkey, Kiwi Muddler, Woolly Sculpin (chartreuse), Stacked Blonde or my favorite, The Great White Sculpin.
Don't know a whole lot about western streams, but i'd guess you have a black stonefly, tan cahill, elk hair caddis, caddis pupa, hairs ear.
A few of you got some. Elk hair caddis in two sizes and colors is numero uno. The parachute adams is also hot. Black ant, and this year especially Dave's Hopper work as hot terrestrials. And the early morning and evening old standby, a mosquito pattern round out my working dry flys. Small water trout are opportunistic top feeders and not as effected by the hatch as by what happens along.
What size mosquito?
