   Ah the Wooly bugger, the only lure some anglers will fish with, shame really when theres somre brilliant other lures out there and this may sound strange but i tried some flies good friend of mine sent over from the uk (12 lures and 6 dries) wow, they have got a huge amount of different lures compaired to over here(tried a mini cats whisker). Any way to answer your question, pheasnt tail has given you some good advice, if the waters cold and the fish dont seem to be doing much then sub-surface is the way to go, i like to fish with nymphs, a PTN is an old favorite that mimics lots of things, also may help if you fish a gold head version on an intermediate line with a long fluorocarbon leader (airflo g3, is a really good one), if thats not woking theres nothing stopping you from using a flaoting line and a dry, even in the winter, each lake is different and experimenting is the best way to go, try some CDC dries and the adams fly is a good one to tryhttp://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores…
   Fish them on there own with a little gink if you need to, if your fishing nymphs then you may want to use an indicator.

   Adams dry fly will catch anything from bluegill, bass, crappie to trout. This would be a good choice!!

   Go to your local tackle store and ask the people there. Streamers are always a good bet. Nymphs can be productive. With dry flies there is no right answer because different insects are hatching at different times of the season. you need to match what the fish are feeding on when you are fishing. Local guides and fishermen will be your best source of information. Wet flies on sinking line will catch fish more consistently than dry flies.

   Not that much of a fly fisherman/purist but, I use Pistol Pete’s Flies on a spinnin’ rig w/ a clear “A-JUST-A-BUBBLE” float (only way ya’ can cast them on that type riggin’) and have had real good success withTrout. Might want to check this link out? Yaaaa’ never know …
   Pistol Pete’s:http://www.pistolpeteflies.com/
   Cabela’s:http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templa…
   Note: They can be had at Pistol Pete’s, Cabela’s or any other major fishin’ tackle supplier (w/ the exception of Bass Pro) …

   Let’s start w/ subsurface:
   Wooly Boogers in size 8 and 10, in black and olive
   If you’re after brook trout, pick up a few Mickey Finn streamers as well.
   Prince nymph, Hare’s ear, Pheasant tail and Copper John nymphs in various sizes (12 to 18)
   Dry Flies:
   Early Season hatches: ( in approxomate order)
   Stone flys (black and brown) and blue wing olives (small)
   Quill Gordan
   Blue Quill
   Hendrickson and Red Quill (both are Hendricksons – one is the male, one is the female)
   A little later after the Hendricksons:
   March Brown
   Gray Fox
   Sulpher
   Green Drake (where applicable)
   Light Cahill
   Isonychia
   There will always be caddis – make sure you have some caddis patterns the “Henryville Special” is a good one to have as it is a generic pattern
   Blues wing olives will almost always be on the water as well.
   In the Summer you should see tricos, midges and large stoneflys – Stoneflys are imitated with a pattern called a “Stimulator”
   Keep a few attractor patterns with you such as an Adams,
   Au Sable Wulff and a Royal Coachman
   If you don’t want to go and “load up” your flybox with all those patterns, I’ll give a list of the basics
   Wooly Boogers in olive and black
   Pheasant tail nymph
   Hares ear nymph
   Adams – generic mayfly imitation
   Tan comparadun – will imitate several mayflys
   black caddis (will imitate little early season stoneflys also)
   CDC sulpher
   Blue wing olives sizes 16 to 20
   Henryville special
   black ant
   The above will catch fish for you.
   Good Luck this season
