An unscientific survey, hat tip to www.wisflyfishing.com, of successful flies on Black Earth Creek in the month of March. I read all of the stream reports on BEC in March over the last 10 years. Flies are listed in order of times mentioned in the stream reports. The list could make a good tying regimen as you prepare for opening day on the vaunted Black Earth Creek.
Gold rib hare's ear, with or without bead, (mentioned 6 times)
Pheasant tail (3)
Prince nymph (2)
Orange beadhead scud (2)
Pink squirrel (2)

I am thinking of heading to Black Earth Creek for opening day. Anyone want to come along?
