Big Trout Flies

Going to be making my spring fly order soon.

I would like to target some big fish this year. What are your favorite flies/streamers for big trout? I’ve used woolly buggers a lot and they are effective but I was thinking of something a little more fishy. Anyone use a clouser minnow ever? Thanks for the feedback!

I have some luck with hornberg and muddler minnows.

I’ve heard of guys using pike sized muddlers. You should also consider mouse patterns. I have my eye on an Alaskan mouse pattern called “Mr. Hankey” that I want to try this year.

If you are into fly tying your own check these guys out. They do look good. I’m going to use them for pike up north.

Rabbit hair strip zonkers. Just make them look ugly and thats what your looking for.

Mouse patterns, frog patterns, even something resembling nightcrawlers or crawfish. I dont do a lot of fly fishing but I have caught several 20″+ browns on huge panther martins or big x raps that havw coughed up frog chunks and I’ve even had one cough up what I believe was a baby duck! Big trout are super opportunistic at least in my limited experience with them.
