The person being interviewed here made several incorrect references regarding the use of the Julia fly on BC rivers, saying to use it as a dropper under a dry fly. That is not legal in BC. Most other areas allow it and it would be a good one to try. I just thought perhaps some mention of this might be appropriate here.
Sorry did not realize you were in MT
Thanks for your comments and the SFOTF staff will ALWAYS abide to the regulations set forth in every province/state or country we fish.
The Julia is a very good dropper pattern in regions where two or more flies are allowed.
