As it turned out, the Trout wanted Dry Flies. Additionally, Trout were wanting PowerBait but needed to make sure the bait stayed above the bottom greenery plus add movement to the presentation.
Did manage two Trout that went for a Crackleback!
Had fun fly fishing for little Stripers at the local dam. Denison Dam serves as the tailrace to Lake Texoma. When generating power the Stripers show and lots of action can be had for both fly fishermen and surf casters!
But, don't forget to fish when the current is slack. You may be surprised how many fish lurk in the area.
Scouting for trout with an underwater video camera, learned how to fish PowerBait for Trout!

Suggestion from a viewer, squirmy tail, nymph body... tied a variant that uses the same yarn as the Blue River Producer for the body, then added Grizzly Hackle. Gonna see if trout like it!
Stay tuned for follow-up video on how I tied it and how I fished it!

Keep this tip handy when your backcast is clobbered. Try a water load!
Workes well on the Blue River in Oklahoma while fishing for trout that were lurking upstream and parallel to the bank.
Was using an OPST Commando Head on a 10ft 3wt!
Tied a couple more Blue River Producer fishing flies to replace the one I lost the other day. Great pattern for Trout but works on Bass, too. For more details, see the video posted by Zach - originator of the pattern.
When you learned to Skip Cast but have not quite mastered it, yet. Expectation is high for many of us. And, the Reality is much the same for many of us as well. Need to practice more!
Tied a Producer Fishing Fly and fished the local pond. It is a Top Fishing Fly for Blue River Trout in Oklahoma. Looks like it works on Bass, too!
Simple but effective pattern with a couple of key steps to keep in mind when tying. For more details, see Flatt Out Fishing or contact Zach Flatt - originator of the pattern!
