I'm planning on taking my first trip to the BW this summer - likely in late May but possibly in July. As anticipation is often as good as the event, I want to spend my winter at the tying bench visualizing all the smallies, 'eye, and northern that will be attacking my flies. I plan to tie a collection of Clousers, muddlers, leaches and woolly buggers. Any other suggestions? And what's the best way to get way down deep. Thanks in advance.

I used a hook point up pattern this past summer - colored eyes with flashabou. Similar to a Clouser only with red flashabou on top and gold as the belly. The pike loved it. Two pike and the fly was destroyed. Also used blue and silver.
