Expert angler recommends productive lake patterns
FLY FISHING -- Central Washington fly fishing guide and industry rep George Cook steeps in fly fishing 12 months a year. When he speaks, people listen. I'm no exception.
I wrote down his recommendations for fishing Central Washington stillwater trout fisheries this time of year:
HOT FLIES
- Snowcone Chronoimids, black #12 and #14, motor oil, same sizes.
- Thin Mint #8 (The Heisman Trophy of Lake Flies - a killer bugger).
- Bead Head Carey Bugger, Claret/burgandy #8.
- Super Fly (damsel) #12 and -#14
LINES
- Clear Intermediate
- Type #3 full sink
- And of course, a Weight-forward floater.
