Flies To Use At Busch

[Justin92297]

I'm heading to bass pro tomorrow to pick up some fly fishing and tying supplies. Need to know which fly patterns work best at Busch or any of the stocked trout lakes in the area. Thanks!

Justin you should check out Bull's Eye Bait and Tackle in Ofallon Missouri sometime, not sure about fliyrod stuff, but its a great store and great people.

(Sounds like you may be over that way)

I'd fish a micro jig. Probably white or ginger. Maybe a y2k?

[Justin92297]

Justin its been years, but if i recall its called Dardenne Creek?? That comes off one of the larger lakes there at BWL, that creek has some massive crappie in it, .. Its work walking that creek, but it is very rewarding, now should be a good time to hit the larger pools for crappie while the weeds are all died off etc. nice bass too.

One year after a heavy rainfall spring the same creek flooded the fields there near that large lake that is no fishing/ waterfowl refuge,.. There was a tiny pocket of water at a culvert where water had pooled up temporarily. We must have pulled 15lbs of crappie from that nothing hole that was about the size of a 16' trailer. We still look back on that fondly.

Can't go wrong with a couple of hare's ears.

Woolley buggers, eggs, San Juan's, marabou jogs.

I've caught them on dries out there before when the wind was blowing.

Is that you Rick!???
