Alternatively, if you see the brookies broaching the surface eating bugs you should change your strategy. Here, you can use a dry fly, or a minnow type lure that remains close to the surface, such as a small muddler. Feeding brookies are the easiest to catch. Fishing with a weighted wooly bugger is more of a searching game and you need to cover territory and ground. Good luck and report what your success was like. PS: if you bring live bait you will use it. If you want to catch brook trout with a fly you need to only bring fly fishing equipment so you learn the techniques. Best, JerryG |

I'll be bringing decievers, buggers, micky finns, and leech patterns to target trout, as well as a variety of dries, nymphs, and San Juan worms just in case. I'll have both floating and sink tip lines. Anyone have Spring stillwater fly suggestions for brookies? What have you found most productive for stillwater brookie fishing in any season? Where will I likely find mid May brookies? Mostly shallow (5-15 fow)? RM |

What kind of dries are typically best for late May stillwater trout? I plan to have a variety of shapes and sizes of May Flies, and some stimulators for searching. And of course I'll have poppers and other big bugs along for bass. I figure most of my success (fingers crossed) will be below the surface, but there's nothing better than hooking a trout on a dry fly. RM |
