There are two resovoirs in my area that I fish..one is Lake Wohlford and the other is Lake Dixon...as DR just mentioned both have trout, bass, crappie, bluegill, channel and blue cats, and carp (at Wohlford anyway)... so I try a variety of flies ... usually a larger fly such as a wb with a smaller drop fly like a pt nymph or bwo.. I switch around often.. and make sure I dont stay in one place too long.. so far I have been skunked..
I do try to "read" the lake but still new to it.. I do try to notice what is in or around the water.. for example.. last year saw all sorts of dragon flies of three different colors (red, green, brown).. tried those flies but got nothing.. when I swithced to smaller pt nymphs and hares ear nymphs.. I caught a bunch of small bluegill...
The primary reason I ask questions like this is my being so new.. with so many flies to look at I dont want to get a bunch that would not work in my area on the best of fishing days.. plus some of the terms are confusin...attractors, stimulators.. etc... I figured my odds of catching a fish are increased if I have the flies that simulate what they are used to seeing and eating... :-)
any help inthis area is very much appreciated.....
