Size 22-26 midges were a go to for me when I fly fished. And even fishing other techniques I tend to downsize gear way before up sizing. I have historically had better success with fish of all sizes using smaller baits and lighter gear.

I am tying #22 Griffiths gnats now.

But I tend to chase hatches. Dry fly fishing is really all I want to do...so I'm almost always matching the naturals. When I fish the upper Delaware I hardly ever blind cast and just target rising fish.

So if they're eating Green Drakes I'm throwing a giant 2x long size #10 and if they are eating tricos I might be throwing a tiny #24.

If I can't figure it out but see rises, I tie on a generic emerger pattern usually in a size #16 like this one ..
I'll usually go to a lighter tippet and/or longer leader before I go to a smaller fly. I typically have a lot of confidence in matching the size of the bugs hatching.

Makes me very sad even though I haven’t been to the park in 5 years. This was my life from 15 to 22 years old. I understand why they decommissioned it though. Hopefully they put in a fun and innovative coaster to replace it.

Oh man the whining about this ride I've seen elsewhere is crazy. It was a fun ride but it's been a brutal ride over the past few years with the thing feeling like a rattling car going down the turnpike at over 100mphs.

Green Lantern was shit too so I'm glad that pos is gone.

I think they'll replace it with something fun, they have cleared so much room in that whole area now with this ride and green lantern and a few other rides all being removed in that space.

Latern I did once and went NOPE. Glad its gone haha. I love Ka but yes, it became brutally rough, 20 years old! So I understand the costs must have been insane to maintain.

Im happy to hear they are refurbishing el toro with new tracking. Once thats done I am definitely going back to the park. Also to try that new boomerang coaster and the jersey devil. Both look great
