The first thing you should do is establish yourself with a local fly shop
(or guide). Buy something there. Then ask for their recommendations. Buy
some of thier flys. Get advice about when, where and how. Don't ask this
group, because they can only answer you in generalities since they likely
don't know your area
I could tell you which flies I try first when I go to a lake, but a fly shop
can probably give you much more specific info

i am thinking of heading out to a local lake sunday mornin to rent a boat
and do some trout fishing.
my question is this: does one use different flies for that kind of trout
fishing than for stream fishing? if so, what?
i have seen the trout that come out of that lake, and they can be pretty
large, so i'm guessing larger flies. also, it is a stocked lake, and
maybe
that makes a difference in how to fish it?
i appreciate any advice.
thanks in advance-
