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-

thanks-
i have developed a pretty good relationship with appalacian anglers- i find
that i can go in there any time with questions, or requests for assistance,
(with tying knots for example) and they are very helpful fellas. they have
taught me a couple of knots, and they showed me how to make perfection
loops, and how to connect my leader to my line. i no longer live in fear of
totaling screwing up my leader while fishing, and having to end my outing
for lack of ability to put a new one on.
i have gone in and showed my cache of flies, and asked what i need that i
don't have, and they have only tried to sell me one or two flies, so i don't
think they will try to rip me off.
the last time i was in they asked me how it's going, where i have been
fishing, and they tell me what to use in those particular areas. really
nice guys. they told me to be sure i bring in a picture of that big trout
when i get it- yeah, right - i feel like it will never happen!
