So I've been fishing some lakes lately cuz' all the rivers are blown out with rainfall and the beginning of runoff. The trout are cruising in shallow water and fishing for them is somewhat like bonefishing, you see them and try and lead them, or just cast and wait till they come near your fly. I have been fishing little seal buggers despite the fact that I don't really like Denny Rickards. These fish are pre-spawn and in lakes that don't really have successful reproduction, so they're stockers from three or so years ago, I guess they're feral since they've lived in the lakes for a number of years.

I haven't fished for lake fish too much. What can I do to increase my catch? I can see the fish straight denying my offerings. Are there any flies that I should try? Next time I'm going to try 6X as opposed to the 4X flouro that I've been using.

These are the kind of fish that I've been catching:
