Brown trout
So I've pretty well tried everything in my fly box and have gone full captain Ahab on this stupid fish haha. Any tips from people flies, presentation, heck I'll take dynamite at this point

Where are you fishing for them? I've caught 95% of mine nymph fishing the Bow River below Calgary.

What size of fish you talkin? Browns are very predatory and territorial ...sculpin or a ..nice fat streamer pattern

It's a stocked pond near edmonton. At first I thought it was a larger rainbow but the colours all say brown. I tried streamers, nymphs, and dries when I thought it was a rainbow. Only thing I have left is a wolly bugger that I haven't tried

These browns seem to not be as territorial as others I've caught

If its Muir lake your talking about I havent seen or heard anybody pull a brown out yet (stalked with 500 this year). Ive had good luck trolling with a micro bugger (10-12 olive) on a float tube.

fish don't get big in stocked ponds by being stupid or they'd have been bonked at 14"
match the hatch with chironomids, or better yet dragonfly larva or baitfish patterns for a brune

Oh Absolutely, I'm just trying to figure out which flies might do the trick

A dark backswimmer is a natural for stocked trout. Short retrieves.

Try a brown piece of foam, about the size of a fish food pellet.

I've never targeted Browns till last year. Caught a bunch once I figured them out. Become the leetch, let the drift do its thing. Black wooly buggers (I prefer beadheads) will catch u Brown trout all year long, in streams/creeks/rivs. Not sure about lakes, no xp for me there.
Moral of story, leetch. All day long, all year long.
Fill your bathtub full of water and slowly drag a cloth around in the water. This is how a leetch moves. When it comes to Browns, I have learned sometimes I am standing on top of them. They seem to linger in the shadows in the least suspecting areas. Near banks, in dark, waiting for that delightful meal.

I will have to pick up a couple wooly buggers and try again. Truly appreciate all the help everyone has shown me in here. I haven't felt this green with a fishing rod in quite a few years

I fish the Elbow River west of Calgary 75% of the time I fly fish. I've only ever caught browns and I've only ever used orange stimulators.
