Im going camping up to rolley lake camping next week and was wondering if it was worth while to take the fly rod with me or just leave it home, and was wondering what flies would work this time of year. thanks

We were just up there about a week ago and I got all my fish on a full sink line with a pink booby fly.
Nothing else seemed to be working on the bright days. I never fished the evening though.

what materials do you use to tie your boobies with.

Pumpkin head fly slays the rainbows in that area for me on a floating line and about 20 feet of leader. i even add a little lead to the ones i tie to get it down a little more and it works wonders

 I will second the pumpkin head. In fact it is a good fly for almost any lake.

I cant find any of the beads for the head of the fly. beadworks only has reddish orange beads so i was wondering if they will work or if someone knows another place that might help. thanks.

Reddish orange, red, gold, copper, silver bead heads will all work well with Wooly Buggers.
The Pumpkinhead is the "hot" fly lately but you don't need to get hung up on precisely imitating the pattern.

  No but the orange silver lined bead is key. Ray where are you located.

  Well if you where near Maple Ridge I would of given you some from what I have as I have more then enough. If you want to pick some up on your way to rolley let me know. I might even be able to get some flies already tied up for you. No charge of course.
