If it's a big deep beaver pond give a streamer a try. Hadn't ever tried this until a few weeks ago on a tiny stream looking for spawning lake cutts. Too early for the big cutts from the lake but managed a 15 inch bow and 16 inch cutt among a few smaller cutts on a size 8 streamer.The strikes where almost as soon as the streamer hit the water the first couple casts.This pond was full of 1-2 inch kokanee so I think the medium size trout must be used to eating other fish. If I use a small nymph all I end up is with baby kokes. My first salmon ever was a 2 inch one [laugh] from this very pond about 10 years ago.
