Wondering what flies I should concentrate on throwing this weekend. Was thinking bwo/hendrickson nymphs & emergers maybe some BH prince nymphs if it's warm enough. what about general practioners and intruders?

I'm prob gonna start off with leech patterns and zonkers.  If I can find enough room I will try and swing them.  If its shoulder to shoulder than I will indie rig them.  Depends on water level and clarity.  Clear water Ill go more natural like a big nymph.  More colour than more fly.  Dead drift and swing out a nice big dark nymphy fly has produced alot for me on openers past.  But I have yet to get a tight line grab this year so I got the swing itch bad....

I would bring a little bit of everything just in case you never know what you will need

I'm a bugger fan myself, but if the water is clear enough its always good to throw a prince!

yes that reminds me... I'd better add a few buggers & egg sucking leehes to the arsenal!

I'd add black and brown stone flies to your arsenal.
