Those little midges might be the trick in my backyard as well. I've been using small BH pheasant tails with some success. Keep posting pics of those beauties. I am curious, what size tippet are you using?
Went fishing in my backyard for about 45 minutes with my wife tonight and actually caught something worth mentioning. I know some of you guys read my blog, and probably have seen the pictures of the 9 or 10 inch fish that i've been catching back there.(and the 4 or 5 inch wild brookies!) Well this one was a nice surprise when I pulled him out of the riffles to say the least!
I caught it on a size 22 white tail midge that I tied on a barbless tiemco. I've got to say, I'm really impressed with the holding power of these barbless hooks! Ever since I learned to euro nymph with these lighter flies, my catch rate is really going up.
Live, learn, and then get Luvs.

When I got my fish at the LL a spin guy told me it was the first fish he saw caught all day. I just smiled...
