AZ, did you try going smaller or larger? When it gets warm here, above 80 for a week, it always works best to go small mid day and big at sunrise and sunset. If the fish were jumping or surfacing a lot try to find a hatch and match it, even with jigs could work well. A 1/100 sparcly tied leech might just do the trick. Light olive and light gray also seem to work better when it gets "hot" here. I know it is nothing like down there but who knows.

The trout in the lake I went to yesterday were feeding on some kind of gnat, about the size of long grain rice. That is not a fun fly to tie. But I am going to have to do it because the fish were feeding all day long on them and I know I would have slayed them on a fly rod or casting bobber using a size 24 or 30 gnats or elk hair caddis. Getting 8 strands of elk hair on a #24 hook is a TON of FUN, not.
