Summer is struggling to kick off, Rain and low temps prevail. The rivers are high so the best places to fish are the headwaters of local rivers and streams. Lucky for me I am close to quite a few. I hit the East branch of the Saco today. I just follow my road to where it ends in the National Forest and go down a trail to the river. This is a boggy area, so the mosquitoes are terrible. You have to cover up or get bit up pretty bad.
I start with my go to dry dropper setup. A size 14 Patriot dry with a size 20 Grey RS2 hanging off the back. If the water condtions are good i will usuelly pick up a few of this jems.

So much for global warming, huh! I’ve just started tying that Patriot dry fly and it seems like a great fly although I usually fish my dry flies alone. I like to use an RS2 as a tag dropper on my Euro Nymphing setup. It often works well there.

I will almost always start with a tandem rig. Two nymphs or a dry dropper while I’m prospecting for fish. Then I will drop back to one when I see what they are taking. If fish are rising I will start with just a dry. Trying to match the hatch.
