Wolly buggers, black with a touch of shiney green.

Pheasant tail nymphs, Grey Ghost Streamer, and either a Swiss Swing or CP Swing in silver. In a Lake I would go with a Blue Fox Vibrax . Or a Jointed Chartreusse Rapala, also a copper backed sutton spoon.

Rooster tails in white gray and yellow, blue fox vibrax in either gold or silver.

My fav is what there biting on that day. And a gold beaded spinner, live bait, small lures.

Gimmie a yellow and black wooly bugger(beadhead), or a yellow and orange
Roostertail(1/16oz)

Spin: Rapala Baby Bass. Dynamite on Big Trout.
Nymph Fly: Hare & Copper Bead head is the best allrounder.
Dry Fly: Wooly Bugger (Green/Black.)
