Since I consider myself to still be a newbie to fly fishing, I plan on fishing Big Horn Sheep Canyon for a few days then move up toward BV and Leadville.

My trip is planned for the first two weeks in August. I have never fished using a terrestrial but would like to try a grasshopper and ant patterns. What size should I be looking for...14/16 or something larger? I sure appreciate any help/tips. Thanks!

14-16 on the ants

12-14 on the hoppers

try a yellow stimulator also . 12-14 size

Amies ant.. get a black/red and a brown/orange or yellow in size 12 or 10. Splash em on the edges followed with a stimi or elk hair caddis... The Arkansas special, baby!!!

drop a caddis larva behind that. Like a Barr's graphic caddis in 16 . killer
