The Three Best Flies for Catching Tons of Brook Trout
One of the most sought-after types of trout is the Brook Trout, and there is no better way to catch a “Brookie” than by fly fishing. Fly fishing is something that an angler of any skill level can do. The most important thing besides casting techniques is to know which flies to use and why so you can have more fishing success on the water. Below we will discuss three types of brook trout flies; one wet fly, one dry fly and one streamer. These are good options for catching Brookies that I have seen first-hand, so let’s take a deeper dive into what they each are and how they can give you increased success.
Royal Coachman Dry Fly
This fly is a great option for catching Brook Trout. If used right at the surface with some movement in order to make it appear like a live insect, this fly can bring even the beginners great success. It is made to mimic many types of insects that spend a lot of time at or near the water surface, and Brookies seem to like this particular fly more than others I’ve used. Some Royal Coachman patterns don’t resemble any specific insect, and these are known to be attractor patterns. These can be effective because, as the name states, they seem to attract the fish for some reason or another.
Black Gnat Wet Fly
This fly is another great choice when fishing for trout, especially Brook Trout. It works especially well in still or slow-moving waters. It is designed to imitate insects such as mayflies and true flies. Most anglers know that those types of flies are found in a variety of different waters, so the Black Gnat Wet Fly is an excellent option. It is pretty common to use the smaller sizes of this type of wet fly for increased success.
Black Ghost Streamer
The Black Ghost originated around the time of The Great Depression in the United States, and it has been a popular an effective fly pattern ever since it was created. It does an excellent job mimicking real flies and insects as it was designed to do, so much so that Brook Trout really love it. It tends to have a black body with white and yellow wings, and this has proven to be a desirable appearance for this special type of trout. As with many streamers, it is generally best to use the Black Ghost in the morning, evening or in cloudy conditions. They seem to be less effective in the middle of the day when the sun is out and visibility is better.
