TWRA is going to stock the local city pond next Thursday. We just had a really hard and no doubt killer frost yesterday morning. I am sure there probably aren't any insects, certainly no terrestrials left alive. In other words, no hatch to match. I have sat at the park everyday at lunch since I learned it was going to be stocked wondering what flies to use? Except for one black duck, which I have named Daffy, I haven't seen anything alive in the pond. Although, Daffy is diving and eating something out of the pond. Minnows I assume.

Oh, and I should probably point out, I suspect they will be fed lots of corn in the first few days. I have never seen anyone fly fish around here, nearest trout stream is about an hour away and most people think you can only fly fish for trout.

So under these circumstances, what fly would you use?

thanks in advance,

PS My wife has already pointed out the fact that I am crazy for naming the duck.
