Oil Creek Flies

[OHFlyfisher]

I'm planning on fishing Oil Creek for the first time next weekend (11/5). Does anyone have suggestions of what I should be tying?

Creek is up a bit so don't forget some streamers in size 6-8 range. WB as well. I don't fish oil creek but some of it's tribs and I always have the best sucess when water is high w streamers and wb. Add some weight to them so they are near the bottom. Don't be afraid of a little split shot as well. I do best w streamers that are dark olive w a little flash in them Wb in dark olive and brown w flash in tail as well.
Have fun,
Greg
