Which fly for this situation?

Good advice from all.

Just thought of something: foam. Should be some foam around a
waterfall. Lovely place for big fish to hide and hope some insect
lands in the foam. Try casting a big dry - some attracter pattern
like Wulffs or Humpies in to the foam and twitching it.

Also, I can't over-emphasize the bubbles near where the water enters
the lake. That is highly oxygenated water and a favorite place, down
low, for big fish.

Thanks to everyone for your suggestions.

.....I would second this suggestion...but would have some weight to it.

The water's pretty turbulent for
about 50 feet around the falls, so if trout are surface feeding, I've
never been able to see it. What sorts of flies would be a good
starting point for experimenting in a spot like this?



Wooly Bugger.

The guy at the fly shop agreed with the weight idea. He & his wife did NOT
agree on color, so I read two books and a magazine, and waxed my car while
they argued about it. Then, I bought both their suggestions.

Details, man - we need details. First and foremost, which books? What kind
of car? Which car wax, and was it applied with a clockwise or
counter-clockwise rotation? AAR's need to know these things.

Oh, and (not that it matters much) did you catch any fish?

Should have bought a cheap vise, some chenille, two streamer necks, and
some hooks. Wooly Buggers are an EXCELLENT way to get into fly tying.
Depending on the vise, about 30-60 flies is your break-even point, and you
have the privilege of playing around for months figuring out what subtle
variation works for you.

I like a conehead weighted bugger, with green variegated chenille and a few
strands of flashabou down the sides.

Haven't left for the lake yet! Speaking of books, "The Founding Fish", by
John McPhee is worth reading. The chapter about catch & release will ****
off almost everybody.

That'll happen this winter. No time to deal with it before the trip. Blame
the broken garage door opener for the missing hours.
