[font "Comic Sans MS"][#008000][size 3]I am of the opinion that different waters require a different approach for catching stockers. [/size][/#008000][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][#008000][size 3]As an example there are several regional parks in my area containing one to four very shallow lakes.[/size][/#008000][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][#008000][size 3]There is no current and really no place for the bows to take shelter. Wading, tubing or boating is prohibited. Now the power bait folks have no trouble catching these fish, where as the fly fishermen really have to work to even get a strike. Perhaps I am using the wrong dries for I have never caught one of these fish on a dry. I find that fishing a nymph or midge as a dropper is the only way to go. However, the opportunities for catching stockers in a creek, stream or river are endless. They seem to adjust much quicker to this type of environment.
