In order to get the most use of your trout flies, you are going to want to take a few things into consideration as to how the fish you are targeting really act in their natural environments. By understanding what trout really eat, as well as when the best times are to give them different presentations of flies will dramatically increase your catching. Fisherman call it fishing, anglers call it catching, and they know the difference between the types of flies and when to use which specific pattern. I'll let you in on my personal all time favorite, just about any type of fish fly that works incredibly well on trout.

The fish that you are after love eating smaller insects, aquatic bugs, and insect larva, so matching the hatch as they say is incredibly important if you want to really bag a nice stringer for the dinner table. If it is the time of the year where bugs are going to be rolling off into the water you are going to want to get a fly pattern that matches the types of insects hitting the top of the water, as well as making sure that you are using a floating fly fishing fly. The reasons are because of the way the bugs land on top of the water, the fish are going to automatically be picking them off as they come in, and won't be paying much attention below them for a meal. If you are in the dead of summer, and there is a nice rain storm coming in, wait for it to finish rolling through good. Once it has moved through, grab a fly that has some holographic blues and purples in it to mimic the wings of most flies found in the dead heat of the summertime. This is a great way to load your string.

If the sun is shining high in the sky though, the fish probably aren't going to be hitting the top of the water unless they are coming from extreme depths. This is not common for most brook and stream trout as the waters are only a few inches deep usually, so you are going to want to use a weighted or wet trout fly to get down in front of their face. These types of flies will break the waters surface and present a much different action underneath the water than their cousins the dry flies. For this, my favorite color and pattern by far is the black clouser minnow. This is one of my personal best sea trout fishing flies that fills the dinner table any time I want to.
