Starting in November the Missouri Department of Conservation will be stocking trout in a small local lake for the first time. I've never fished for trout before. What type of patterns would be good for the trout over the winter months. Also, once the season opens next spring should I be looking for different patterns or will the ones I've used over the winter still be effective.

I can tie some basic flies. So, if any suggested patterns are not too difficult I may also try tying a few.

Also, if you have any general advice about winter stocked trout fishing I would greatly appreciate it. I have only fished in warm weather months for blue gill and bass.

Thanks in advance for any advice.
