fishin for trout in lakes

yesterday my son and i went fishin at a local lake in blowin rock ,
(appropriately called trout lake). he fished with his spin rod, i with my
fly rod. he had an artificial worm on his hook, which landed him his first
trout. i, in spite of trying a few different flies, got nothing. my
question is this. in the absence of a hatch, when fishing for trout in
lakes, does one approach fly selection differently than when fishing
streams?


you ever fish in there mark?

All right, see if you can get this. I have no idea what kind of lakes
you fish. There are as many different kinds of lakes as there are kinds
of streams. Your question is ridiculous. It's like asking, "In the
absence of a hatch, when fishing for trout in streams, does one
approach fly selection differently than when fishing
lakes?" Read a damn book or two.

Asking such a broad question (no pun intended) strikes me as an
attention-getting device. (Not there's anything wrong with that, up to a
point).

then all you had to say is something like," how one approaches fishing for
trout in lakes varies depending on the type of lake. it is a question
difficult to answer without having more specific information, but maybe
there are some resources out there with more information."

-and i have read one book so far on fly fishing- john gierach's fly fishing
small streams. sorry i couldn't read every resource all at once. and what
the hell was i thinking asking a fly fishing related question on a fly
fishing newsgroup? maybe i should stick to off topic stuff? oh, wait, that
didn't work either.......
