fishin for trout in lakes
 

yesterday my son and i went fishin at a local lake in blowin rock ,
(appropriately called trout lake). he fished with his spin rod, i with my
fly rod. he had an artificial worm on his hook, which landed him his first
trout. i, in spite of trying a few different flies, got nothing. my
question is this. in the absence of a hatch, when fishing for trout in
lakes, does one approach fly selection differently than when fishing
streams?


you ever fish in there mark?

Yes. Definitely. It's another world.

Oh, definitely...either the "Tovex Surprise" or "BUZ-TA 312" patterns
are surefire fish getters...of course, when all else fails, there's the
"Ro-10-1," but you can't use it in FFing-only waters.

Here's one recipe for the Tovex:

Hook: 1/1.1
Body: dubbed with Tasmanian Tiger
Tail: Guacamayo
Hackle: Grizzly Mamo
Wings: Shellduck hen

Unless you don't care what you catch, you would likely need to use at least a sinkin'
tip line and a nymph pattern. You could catch some brim or bluegills along the banks,
but you aren't likely to catch any trout in the shallows, unless you just happen upon
some along the banks. Most likely, any lake trout are going to be in the deeper
waters feedin' on nymphs or minnows--dependin' on their size of course.

Never fished there myself.

thank you for the HELPFUL response, op. there isn't any boating in there,
so i'm just fishin off the bank. got some pretty good distance out there
this evenin, but of course, nothin like you're saying would be sufficient to
catch trout. maybe my son got lucky yesterday. either way, i'm glad for
him.

hey, ya wanna try that spot again this week? if you do, maybe tomorrow? i
have a friend who is a singer songwriter and has a gig comin up at a coffee
house in w. jefferson on the 28, and she wants me to play it with her, so
if i say yes, i will be practicing with her a couple of nights this week,
but i know that we won't start practicing yet tomorrow.
whatchya think?

Can't say for certain yet, as I need to do some more work up on the *poachin'* patch.
Might even get into a good 'ol gunfight with some real poachers. So the future is

I think that as long as net-nannying is one of the topics this fine day,
I'll take this opportunity to guess that you two gals have at least one
email account apiece, just sitting there waiting to be used for the
planning of the next Hee-Haw Hoedown, Appalachiklatch, Grand Ol'
Opieing, or whatever your personal proclivities might be...

And seriously, "snake," any chance of your doing an occasional snipping
when you reply? That part is not net-nanny silliness - it's an actual

yeah, ya know- i could have done a little snipping there- i'll give ya that
one. still, it really wasn't that big a deal. just don't read the ****, if
you don't want to. but as far as your other beef goes- i have seen the same
performed here on roff in the past, without any objections raised by anyone
else. you might also have taken notice that mark did tell me he'd let me
know through my e-mail. so, sorry- you lose on that one.

yeah, ya know- i could have done a little snipping there- i'll give ya that
one. still, it really wasn't that big a deal. just don't read the ****, if
you don't want to. but as far as your other beef goes- i have seen the same
performed here on roff in the past, without any objections raised by anyone
else. you might also have taken notice that mark did tell me he'd let me
know through my e-mail. so, sorry- you lose on that one.

btb- why do you hate the south?

Aw, now, don't get me wrong - an occasional episode of The Saltine
Showcase, a smattering of Outhouse Forum, and a lil' ol' bit of Pettin'

watch Gomer and Ernest T. trying to make a choo-choo-booty call on Aunt
Bee, so do carry on...

but as far as your other beef goes- i have seen the same

Perhaps, but I doubt it, and I don't recall seeing it in several years
around here, at least as you tend to do it. And again, it's merely a
suggestion, but I'll bet you'll find it one you might wish to at least
consider - as always, YMMV...

you might also have taken notice that mark did tell me he'd let me

Oh, I don't lose on ANY of them, trust me...

in the absence of a hatch, when fishing for trout in
lakes, does one approach fly selection differently than when fishing
streams?

Not knowing your lake and presuming you are shore fishing, my son "always"
has great luck using damsel fly and dragon fly nymphs indigenous to the
specific water body. His theory is that these nymphs are such a big meal
that they attract and invite strikes from the smarter medium and large sized
trout. Try strip fishing one of these bead head and/or weighted nymphs with
a sink tip floating line and see if you can get some takes.

Good luck!

All right, see if you can get this. I have no idea what kind of lakes
you fish. There are as many different kinds of lakes as there are kinds
of streams. Your question is ridiculous. It's like asking, "In the
absence of a hatch, when fishing for trout in streams, does one
approach fly selection differently than when fishing
lakes?" Read a damn book or two.

Asking such a broad question (no pun intended) strikes me as an
attention-getting device. (Not there's anything wrong with that, up to a
point).

then all you had to say is something like," how one approaches fishing for
trout in lakes varies depending on the type of lake. it is a question
difficult to answer without having more specific information, but maybe
there are some resources out there with more information."

-and i have read one book so far on fly fishing- john gierach's fly fishing
small streams. sorry i couldn't read every resource all at once. and what
the hell was i thinking asking a fly fishing related question on a fly
fishing newsgroup? maybe i should stick to off topic stuff? oh, wait, that
didn't work either.......
