TheBerg 241 Posted April 27, 2016 Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 Anybody willing to share their magic/go-to fly or technique for trout when searching deep pools? I tend to have good success on a heavy Black Wooly Bugger or StoneFly Nymph. Gets it down nice and deep although you do get a few snags. I've semi-alleviated this by using a floating line instead of intermediate line with a medium length leader. Truthfully I haven't had much success using other flies that have been suggested to me. I've been trying for ages to get a hookup on a black/red mattuka or red tag. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Bream Reaper 103 Posted April 27, 2016 Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 Emu bugger my go to fly-try diff retrieves (hot tip- bigger isn't always better), double nymph rig or bugger with trailing nymph. Yabby or glass shrimp fly always worth trying too ;-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Found some great tips in a few books too. "Great Australian Fly Fishing Stories" is mint and well worth a read. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
