A trout question...

Hey guys, once the lakes down the cape unfreeze a little bit i will be down there trolling flies for the trout. I usually use a gold bead black wooly bugger. Havent caught any trout with it, because only tried it one time with a fly, i usually troll with small spoons and kill them on it. Do you guys think the black wooly bugger is a good choice or do your have some suggestions?
Thanks guys

Anthony

trout

Dear Anthony:
I can't help you with trolling but with regard to using wollyburgers while fly fishing for trout on cape waters, they can be deadly. Use a slow pulsating retrieve in cold waters.

I would also suggest streamers.
The reason being that after the thaw, the trout MIGHT be more apt to strike a lure that resembles a small baitfish (that would be present) rather than an insect (that may not be present).
I'd still keep the woolybugger handy, because you can't tell what they'll eat until you give them a selection.
I've had good luck with trout during the warmer months at Nickerson State Park. They also have a decent population of smallmouths as well.

A Whoolybugger is one great fly , but if you troll with them i would suggest that you weight them down with lead rather than a bead head ,your line won't twist so much.

If you are fishing for rainbows I'd try #4 muddlers regular pattern and if you are fishing for Brookies I would add some color such as yellow. And if you are fishing in a pond Iwould use a sinking line or a 6'sink tipfrom a boat.

Anthony, you might try a gold ribbed hares ear # 8 or 10 on a short shank hook. The fly makes a great fresh water shrimp imitation, for the lakes on the Cape. I have taken many trout at mashpee/wakebe. using this fly. Also the gray ghost works well. Hope you hook up when the ice goes out. Don't for get to try the creek in Sandwich, I hope to see you there this spring. Tight lines and,"GET YOUR BACKING WET" from The KID.
Ps. Saltydog only 28 days to go!!!!

GET YOUR BACKING WET !!!
