Mike, Hah, you've hit it right on the head. I used to use wooley buggers until I tied up a bunch of small clousers and tried them. Most effective fly ever for those particular smallmouth,plus you can drop them into holes,caves, and other places that would normally cost you a fly.The lower portions of the north fork are pretty easy to access.It's the mid to upper levels where it gets harder. I've gone in on 3 of the trails last summer and they're not as hard as some people say.I'd say about 45 min. to get down and about an hour and a half to get back out depending on your condition. Works best as an overnighter. Carry a filter and tank up before you head back up.Beer on ice at the top is a great incentive.Missed the stonefly hatch up there last year but from the amount of husks on the rocks it looks massive.

Elwood: It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses.
Jake: Hit it.
