fly recommendation for urban fishery

[Coach Robb]

In Southeast Wisconsin there is an urban fishery program where the DNR releases trout in early spring. These fish will school and travel in packs 1-2 feet below the surface of the water, going deeper as the water heats up. A couple of the lakes are perfect for a float tuber(small no motors)Spin fisherman use a small minnow suspended below a bobber. White beadhead wooly bugger with a floating line? Any other suggestions? Thank you in advance.

Bivisible, try in sizes, starting 14 up to 8. If a breeze is up on the lake you can wind drift in the float tube, just remember, it may be a long way back to where you started from.

I learn more about the world while talking to myself when fishing alone

When it is warm enough , and the flying ants are hatching , use an ant immitation. I dont know of any fish that wont take a good ant immitation.

If you are surface fishing, or close to the surface , consider using an 'indicator fly' such as a Klinkhammer Special floating on the surface, with a dropper fly such as a nymph , chromid , or a drowned ant . Later in the season (summer), you might want to use a grasshopper immitation as an indicator.

Most panfish flys shown in the "Fly of the Week", or in the FOW archives will be equally successful. Check out the FOW archives for pictures, recipies, and suggested presentation .
