Flies

[Smitty]

Help!
I'm a rookie fly fisherman and am gonna fish
the Boardman the second week of May. What
kind of flies should I have with me. I've
heard that streamers are the ticket. I've
tied some elkhair caddis and dark hendrickson.

I would try zoo cougers, Rattlesnakes and madonnas as a starter. These are all great streamers that I would NEVER be without on the river. I have only fished the Boardman one time and I didn't fare too well.(the water temps were very high!)
I would try to get a hold of the Troutsman.
I think they include a Boardman river report on their webpage... I may be totally wrong about the report but I'm sure you can at least get a little more info on the above streamers.
