It might just be a weather thing. I hit the Weber and Lost Creek 8 days ago and caught about 30 browns in 2 hours. It was cloudy with a light drizzle coming down. 2 days later I returned and fished again for 2 hours and had about 6 strikes but didn't land a single fish. Ouch! The weather was beautiful but the fishing wasn't. The first day I caught all the fish on #10 thru 14 beadhead prince nymphs. The second day didn't have a strike on any nymph. The strikes I had where on a humpy, caddis and zonker. I ran into one guy who said he caught 6 or 8 on a parachute adams but he admitted they where all tiny ones under 12 inches. Don't get too analytical just because you have one bad day. I would say beadhead prince nymphs are by far my most productive fly for the fall and winter on the Weber. If you want to target the big browns in the fall try a streamer. My favorite for the Webe is a #10 beadhead pearl zonker.
