Prince nymph, leech patterns, and chronomids under an indicator. Doc Spratley for stripping or slow trolling.

chironomids. 75% of the time. Leeches 10%, Dragons 5%, Scuds 5%, Mayflies 5%.
Depends with season, but chironomids are staple.

What do I use for still water rainbows?
I am probably too stupid to know I am doing anything wrong - but I use an egg pattern with a SLOW retrieve. Try to follow any possible water movement toward a low end of the pond or lake, alternatively any spot where water enters the pond or lake.

Conehead leech on a floating line, or floating leech on an intermediate sink line, chironomids or scuds under an indicator.
