Best Brookie fly

[coyoteman]

I developed this fly over thirty years and found it to be the best fly for brook trout, which we always called mud trout, easy to tie , wouldn't hurt to have a couple in the fly case----I put on fishing only by mistake there it gives a description of materials needed--Mud Trout---Size 12-14 over all best size, of course I was fishing a three fly rig--not legal in AB.

A three fly rig....almost like chumming.....hehe

I've always called them Speckle Trout..........hence Splake Trout and Sparctic Char

Brown Whooly Bugger slays 'em too...

That's news to me,,,, Many anglers in Alberta often fish three nymphs together at a time.

The following is directly copied from the current angling regs:

General Sportfishing Restrictions

It Is Unlawful To:

...Use a line in angling equipped with more than three hooks (e.g., three hooks, or three single-hook lures, or one three-hook lure)....

It is legal to use 3 flies in AB. Years ago, I had conservation officers check the barbs on my 3-fly rigs.

Muddler Minnow has been a good one for me. Silver seemed to produce better than Gold.

Sort of looks like a March brown, are you using it in lakes or rivers or both?

Lakes and rivers---But I found it really good on a windy day trolling---The end fly a simple black gnat, some days very good the middle fly a green body brown tail and hackle, With teal duck segmets for wings---the idea was to present three different colours- brown --green ---black.--The rig well tested, I actually ran a 4 hr johnson until it was worn out that took a few years.

One of my all time favourites, excellant for salmon also. Camping at payne lake, right on the water, close to the damn, cast out mm got a dandy just under three lbs, a rare occurrance for sure.

Yes, those days long gone, I am happy now to hook and release, although I keep a measure rdy, at police out post, bulls head,---One for the pan, still like the smell of frying by the lake side.
