Tailwater Technique Question 17 Years, 3 Months ago  
I'm heading to CO to spend Christmas with my bros., and if the weather cooperates, we'll hit the Arkansas River tailwater for a couple of days.

The only tailwater I've fished is the San Juan in NM. There, the grab is extremely light and the smallest of indicators and micro shots are what works best. Also, we generally fish midges in #22-#26.

Dries are also small, when they're working, unless you're fishing terrestrials in the summer.

Is this the norm for tailwater techniques? I'll have larger nymphs too, including San Juan worms.

Anyone fished the Arkansas?

Any suggestions, would be appreciated.
