The wooly bugger is always a go-to for me. I prefer to use black/brown colours to imitate leeches or crayfish. Other options are closer minnows, and if the fish are aggressive a topwater popper/diver works well. Small nymph patterns can also work well if the water is clear and if the fish are feeding on dragonfly/mayfly nymphs.
Caught on the river so I didn't have my scale/measuring board. Any estimates on the weight of this fish?
