Good point.. wooly buggers are king when it comes to flies in my book! Just make sure if you are going to catch and release to smash the barb down on the hook to make for an easy release.

black, olive, brown- just stay with the natural colors.

Its an easy fly to tie, if you are into that. Its also very available, and cheap to buy.
You can kill em fly-fishing, but when I didn't have my fly rod, I would just tie on a wooly bugger, and put one or two split shot 3 or 4 feet up the line. Its kinda awkward to cast at first, but you'll figure it out.
Just keep an erratic retrieve. Fast and jerky, and the trout come flying after it in swarms. Ive seen entire schools of trout fighting over it.
James also has a proven method. He is right about the velveeta. Ive seen it out-fish just about every color of powerbait out there. And a kastmaster will definitely get the job done.
Have fun with the Urban Ponds- and don't forget your trout stamp![/quote]
