On a side note, my wife and I are heading to Minnesota for vacation for the first week of June. We will be heading to a graduation for my sister-n-law and then camping in southern Minnesota. I am going to do my first trout fishing trip. I never thought this day would come. I expected to be this weirdo fly fisherman from the midwest who never even tossed a fly at a trout. I was ok with that, but my luck has changed. I will be chasing some brown trout in the local streams and creeks. I may come back with my first trout ever, or I will continue my streak at being a non typical fly fisherman. Who knows, but either way it is going to be great times spent in the outdoors with my wife.
Non-typical. Non species specific. The way to be! Have a great trip to MN!
ReplyDeleteThanks for reading. Do you have any favorite flies for brown trout?
ReplyDeleteI've had a lot of luck on browns (and rainbows) with a dry dropper rig. I use a Clown Shoe Caddis (I like the visibility of the pink on top!) or an elk hair caddis on top, and then a zebra midge or some small pupa on bottom. In lakes I've been fishing with black streamers and Wooly Buggers and they both seem to be getting lots of hook-ups. Good luck up there, and I can't wait for post-trip posts and pictures! Cheers!
