Pattern Request -- Isle Royale NP, Michigan
 

Well, sort of in Michigan. Closer to Minnesota's Boundary Waters than
anything.


My guess is that any fly that works in the Minnesota or UP lakes would work.
I'll be trying to get some trout in Lake Siskwit the first week of June. I
know it's a bit early to head that far north, but that's the time I get this
year....

The less complicated the pattern, the better. I'm not a total rookie, but
I'm certainly not that experienced, either.

Any help you folks can give would be much appeciated.

Thanks,

Dan

My last trip to the UP was in July of 2002. Stopped at a fly shop and
picked up a pattern I never would have guessed to use. It's a simple black
fly/deer fly pattern. Probably a size 16 or 14, black foam body and grizzly
hen wings laid down flat like a housefly would be. I caught some brookies
that had so many naturals like this in them, they were coming out of their
mouths! I'd think the pattern would work in June, as the black flies will
be out.
