Deer Creek Flies??

Thanks for posting Joe!

I've had success with balanced leeches there, I'll give those midges a shot. 

I've actaully attended a few of Rowley's and Chan's seminars. Those guys are the best!

But I think we face particular challenges fishing reservoirs that you don't in natural lakes.

You're absolutely right. Reservoirs with steep dropping shorelines and fluctuating water levels are not ideal conditions for quality trout fisheries. Chironomids are really key to the whole thing and steady water levels with marl (clay-like) bottoms are the foundations needed for establishing the massive midge populations that trout grow big and fat on.
