Turkeygirl Posted April 3, 2007 Report Share Posted April 3, 2007 I'm going fly fishing later. Andy has been catching a bunch of nice rainbows from an inlet in the lake - they let the lake down each year and at the one end when it goes down is a small waterfall that the trout run up to. He's been catching them on eggsacks but their stomachs show they've been eating just about everything in sight - twigs, pebbles, aquatic worms and insects..What should I try regarding wet or dry flies, or nymphs? I've got a bunch of different flies tied. I figure maybe a gold ribber hare's ear nymph might work but any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leatherneck Posted April 3, 2007 Report Share Posted April 3, 2007 Re: What should I fish with? parachute adams or an orange stimulator always work good for me!!! Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DU_man_84 Posted April 3, 2007 Report Share Posted April 3, 2007 Re: What should I fish with? for dries i would go with smaller stimulators, royal wulff, as for nymphs i would go with maybe some midges, pmd's its hard to pass up on the BH pheasant tails and princes, try both do a dry dropper, or a dry double dropper, or even a double dropper, mix it up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 Re: What should I fish with? I'm not the biggest fly fisherman around, but I would try to match the local hatch, or bounce some red worms or wax worms on the bottom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muggs Posted April 9, 2007 Report Share Posted April 9, 2007 Re: What should I fish with? an olive wollybugger works well in your area Ruth (from what I hear). I'd try that. If you're not getting hits, really gear down and use midges tied really small. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
