xred 0 Report post Posted November 9, 2009 Wooly buggers should do the trick most of the time as they are a pretty good attractor/searching pattern. You could always try glo bugs or the Y2K egg. I've had pretty good success with a brown egg pattern that resembles the trout food pellets they use at the hatcheries. Especially on the freshly stocked trout. Sometimes you just have to give the fish time to adapt to their new surroundings and get used to eating "natural". For now try using any kind of attractor patterns.

utyer 0 Report post Posted November 9, 2009 Give them a day or two to aclimate and recover from the stress of being moved. After that they should start getting hungry. Super secret pattern: Purina Trout Chow: Standard shank or curved shank hook about a 12. Thread: black or brown: Body: Varigated olive and brown chenille. Three wraps. Tail: None Hackle None Weight this fly, and make it hit the water hard. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Firetiger 0 Report post Posted November 9, 2009 Some think catching stockies is unethical and unworthy of a true fisherman - they obviously do not know how it feels like to get bummed by a bunch of them Brown lure is good, a gold head adds flash and splash see here what I mean Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ColonelMeyer 0 Report post Posted November 13, 2009 I wore em' out the other day on crackle backs. Yellow floss, peacock herl, brown hackle and, about 5 minutes are all you need. Good luck! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
