What to tie for a trip to Bennett Springs (Missouri)...

I've been checking the fishing reports for the spring. I've tied a
couple from the suggestions of the reports. But my delima or challenge
if you will is the monsters within the stream. When I say monsters, I
am referring to the 5 pound plus range on Rainbows and Browns. I am
probably what most of you guys would refer to as a redneck trout
fisherman. LOL What I am referring to here is that I am a bass man.
And only purchased the fly rod in hopes of trying to catch some trout
in Missouri when I finally do get to make trips up there. I tend to
have great success with a "brassie" tied with red wire versus the
"yellow"/brass wire and with out the peacock herl. I can limit out in
mere minutes with that pattern, but I can NEVER get a monster
interested. I know that the spring is a managed/farm spring, of which
I am certain that these trout prefer the lovely pellets supplied to
them by the park when they are fingerlings. But what would possibly
persuade one of these monsters to rise to a nymph and take it? Granted
fish are fickle creatures, but I am looking for an "on the average"
response for this type of thing. Also, the reason I say nymph is
because I still haven't completely developed my casting ability to
even think about trying to dry fly at all....LOL Yeah, I told ya I am
a redneck trout man. LOL I have tied wooly boogers in brown and in
black in sizes from 16 to 10. I figure that these would "imitate" the
pellets that these guys might rise to take if seen. OK, well, if I
haven't totally confused everyone with my horrible gramar and
spelling, I would like ya'lls suggestions as to what you guys would
tie for these big-uns.

Thanks,
Chuck (and yes I am from Texas :P LOL)
