Here is Kevin with a fine Palouse River Squaw. He was taken on a size 12 phaesant tail nymph in our favorite holding pool just above the trussel.
As you can see from the raw gurth of this fish, almost needed 2 hands, there is active acquatic insects for year round feeding. When I'm not frantically trying to match the hatch of local bees, house-flys, and grasshoppers I have found an all purpose fly to fall back on. Depending on the time of year (spring and early summer guides are booked far in advance...plan ahead) I will use green, although I have been known to use pink marshmallows.

Have you found that the NPM can be picky at times regarding flies? I remember a day when I went through my whole box and could not get them to take. Do You have any ideas? Have you ever tried fishing the Palouse where it goes through Pullman there are some fine pools in town?
I haven't fished in downtown at all but I have fished by the softball fields...some of the best dry fly fishing the west. I haven't found them to be picky, its all about a drag free drift
Next time your in town you should try the spot by swilly's it is some of the best fishing ever.
