big rainbow flies
I am heading to twin lakes in a couple weeks, And want to try and gets some of the big broods out of there. I usually use green damsels, dragonfly nymphs and muddler minnows. Is there any other flies that I could use. I was thinking of mouse patterns stripped along the shallows. I have tried chronomids with no luck. Please help

this. I've caught so many fish trout of wooly buggers in lakes it's obscene. about an inch an a half, black or dark purple.
pheasant tail nymph, backswimmer, hare's ear, wooley bugger. I wouldn't fish a lake without these.

Do you guy think a mouse pattern would work first thing in the mornings or before sundown???? I know they work for big browns and brookies.

Mouse pattern may get some pike if they are up shallow, which they usually aren't this time of year, there will still be some damsels and dragons coming off, but not many. Maybe some Caddis if Twin has any to speak of. But, this time of the year, shallow/ topwater is getting too warm, the hatches are slowing down and the fish are heading to deeper water. Microleeches, wooly buggers, muddlers, scuds, dragon nymphs are more likely to work this time of year.
Big wooly buggers at/sfter dusk on a fast troll, may work if there is any surface activity around that time.
