Terrestrials insect are now a major food item for trout  everywhere.  Concentrate on banks and overhangs not in direct sunlight  On still waters, such as Beula Lake shown below, speckled dun emergences are  bringing  gulpers to the surface. Adult damselfly patterns will also bring top water responses.
