Does anyone know what kind of flies to use, or which style, fly? And how to do it?(just cast out and strip the line in?) I just started fly fishing, (actually fly fishing with line, leader and tippet), and i catch like, crappie, sunfish, bass and shiners. Where i am fishing is at, its a lake, rather than a stream. They will be stocking the lake with 470 trout this monday.

Key, don't fish for the trout until a couple days after its stocked. And don't fish the area where they dumped the fish in. Use beaded nymphs and once casted take your time and work the water. The goal is to look as natural as possible but still attract the fish. I use bumble bees, streamers and nymphs. I've never fly fished a lake before so I have no idea where you should target. If it was a stream or river, I could help ya out.  

Here's some patterns you should check out.

Two flies for still waters/ponds/lakes - Woolly Buggers and Muddler Minnows.  These will cover about 75% of the trouts diet in these waters and are pretty easy to fish.  

Trout in still water like to "cruise" depths more then wait and ambush prey.  So the first thing to do is cast out then strip back in.  Try to vary the sink times to get your fly to different depths before stripping.  Also vary your strip speed (strip 6-10" stop, strip, stop).  Once you get bit you should keep fishing that depth and speed.  

Always keep some drys with you too should you get a hatch.  I would stick with generic patterns before getting into specific flies.  Try an adams, black ant, black gnat, elk hair caddis, bivisible dun, etc... but only fish while they are feeding the surface or you will just be wasting time.  

Hope that helps.  

Just one more question, would i be able to use a 5wt for bluefishing(saltwater)? I have been saltwater fishing for a couple years now, and been using fairly light tackle.(6'6, medium fast action st croix triumph with a penn 440ssg)

my favorite is the wooly bugger     <-- google it and u should find alot of info on it

I would go a bit heavier for blues.  Maybe a 8 or 9wt. with a large arbor reel.  The 5wt. might be a little too light and wouldn't want to risk snapping a perfectly good rod or running out of line on a larger fish.  Plus  you might have some trouble hauling those larger flies on a small rod especially with wind.  

If you are going to pay $200 for a rod better to spend it on a second rod then replacing one you broke.  

Yeah, I'd say a woolybugger would a pretty good fly to use. Its kinda like the senko of flies to me. Make sure you do use sinking line though, to get to those fish.
