Dry Fly’s for the Lower Shoshone River (during winter months)

 Here are 4 simple dry Fly’s that cover most situations during the winter months on the Shoshone River.  I fish them all on 5 or 6X fluro.  I use the heavy hook to increase durability of the fly on 30 fish days.  The river is on fire so come give it a try.  See you there!
