Fly fishing for the trout
Stocked lake trout cruise and feed up in the water, so you need to find the depth they're at. Start just under the surface and go deeper if nothing's happening.
How to set it up
- A 9ft 6–7 weight rod with a floating line covers most days; carry an intermediate or sinking line for cold or bright spells.
- Early season and cold days: lures like a Cat's Whisker, Blob or Damsel, pulled back in steady strips.
- Warmer days with fish rising: buzzers, Diawl Bachs or a dry fly fished slowly, or static under an indicator.
- Count your fly down (5, 10, 15 seconds) and change depth till you get a pull — then repeat that count.
- Use 6–8lb fluorocarbon tippet, and check the fishery's rules on catch-and-release, bag limits and barbless hooks before you start.
Typical kit: Rod: 9ft #6–7 fly rod · Line: floating + intermediate fly lines · Tippet: 6–8lb fluorocarbon. Starting points only — match line and hook to the venue rules and the fish present.
Rule note: Bag limits and catch-and-release rules vary a lot on trout waters — ask at the lodge before your first cast.
Bait to consider
- Flies only on most trout waters — check the lodge rules
- Bait/worm ONLY where expressly permitted
Common starting baits, not a local "top bait". Bait bans override everything here.
When it suits
Depends on the water's season and stocking — ask the lodge what's open.
General seasonal pattern, not a forecast.
Check the rules
No method or bait rules published that we've checked. Always confirm on the day.
