Question:
I'm planning on doing some fly fishing for lake trout
this year. I know several places to go, but I don't know what flies or
techniques to use. Please post any suggestions on fly patterns and
methods to use for lake trout.
Answer:
I've never ffed in CO, but in CA I've had some success with calebaetis
sparkle duns, fished in shallow water near weed beds, during the mid-day
hatch. Fish were taking size16, but that was last Sept--maybe larger in
spring. Some swear by nymphs, like a PT, but I find drys easier & more
fun when fish will take them. By the way, the lake I'm talking about has
a water temp around 47 deg F, even in warm weather, and I fish from a
boat.
