[cool][#0000ff]Most of the trout in the urban ponds are hatchery pets that usually do not stay around long enough to develop much of a natural diet...or to pattern on any particular food source.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Attractor patterns often do better than meticulously tied imitations of real bugs. The Renegade is a good one, with the contrasting colors. So is a royal coachman. I tie them in a wet pattern so that they ride below the surface. If you fish them on a sink tip line you can usually get some action.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]I know guys that do well with "glo bugs", the fluffy egg tie that steelheaders use. You just cast them out and let them sink, watching the line for a twitch or using a strike indicator.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Good luck.[/#0000ff]
