I look into… my fly box, and think about all the elements I should consider in choosing the perfect fly: water temperature, what stage of development the bugs are in, what the fish are eating right now. Then I remember what a guide told me: ‘Ninety percent of what a trout eats is brown and fuzzy and about five-eighths of an inch long.’ - Allison Moir.
If you go into the main pond I’ve heard weighted marabou muddler minnows 6-10 work very well. Let us know how it goes!
Thank’s fore the fast replies. I will post how the fishing was when i get back. Chuck e
