Default RE: best flys for trout?

Those bass will like streamer or poppers depending on the conditions. You may also try big juicy grasshoppers and spiders as dry flies once the weather warms up. Many times the key to catching pond bass on big dry flies is to let the fly sit...still....just wiggling it now and then.

As for your small stream brookies, you should try a "dry/dropper" rig. that is two flies, a moderate size dry fly (I'd start with a 14 or 16 caddis) with a hares ear or other nymph trailed behind (and underwater) bybetween 4 inches and 1 1/2 feet depending on the water depth. Those brookies are pretty aggressive and should hit topwater even when there is no "hatch" If not the nymph will definately get 'em

Good Luck
