A reliable year-round streamer, effective for imitating leeches and baitfish, and a general trout tactic for Currant Creek Reservoir and the creek below.
Woolly Bugger (Black/Olive)
An essential year-round streamer, effective for imitating leeches and baitfish active in colder spring water, and recommended for deep fishing in the reservoir.
Scud (Pink/Orange)
Freshwater shrimp are a consistent food source in stillwaters, and a pink or orange Scud can be very effective in early spring, especially in areas with aquatic vegetation.

With spring runoff, aquatic worms are easily washed into the system, making this a highly effective subsurface pattern for active trout.
Buy at AmazonFlashback Pheasant Tail Nymph
An excellent general searching nymph for early spring, mimicking various mayfly nymphs that are active year-round and particularly as BWOs begin to emerge.
Blue-Winged Olive (BWO) Comparadun
Blue-Winged Olives begin to hatch in early spring, especially on overcast days, making this low-profile dry fly excellent for selective trout feeding on emergers and adults.
Buy at AmazonMother's Day Caddis
The prolific Mother's Day Caddis hatch is expected in late April through May, making this dry fly a perfect imitation for adult caddis on the surface.
Glo Bug (Orange)
Resident trout and char remain keyed into egg patterns year-round, particularly with the upcoming spring rainbow spawn in the area.
Olive Woolly Bugger
A reliable year-round streamer, effective for imitating leeches and baitfish, which are aggressively pursued by trout in cooler fall conditions.
