Autumn Trout Flies You Will Want to Carry

A lot of anglers will tell you their favourite trout flies and give you a run down of which ones need to be used, and when. However, trout are so particular and picky depending on the day, weather and time of year, that it is important to have an abundance of flies on hand at all times. If you read an article that tells you to always use one autumn trout fly and you simply pack that and go on your way, you are going to be relying far too much on luck. If you really want to utilize the best autumn trout flies then you have to pack up a variety of flies and experiment with each one until you strike gold. But, where do you start? Which flies should you pack in your kit first when heading out in the fall? Here are a few autumn trout flies to consider, just remember to always branch out and keep experimenting every single day.

If you are in search of Rainbow Trout in autumn then a great place to start with flies are the Kate McLaren and the Orange Fritz. You will often find both readily available in most trout fishing stores, and you will certainly find that most experts pack one or the other no matter where they go. If those do not work you can try to switch to something such as a damsel nymph or even an orange dog knobbler if you can get your hands on one. However, with Rainbow Trout you will find that on a good day just about any fly will have you hauling in fish.

If it is Brown Trout that you are after, then you will often find some pretty impressive success by packing Ginger and Gold and Black and Peacock flies, but both should definitely be dry when working in autumn weather. You can also opt for an orange partridge, a black spider or even a pheasant tailed nymph in autumn, depending on what you feel might work in your situation and in terms of the weather on the particular day you are fishing for trout.

In small waters, things work much differently but you will find that many expert trout anglers swear by Daddy's, Diawl Bach and even Yellow Dancer Lures. If something isn't working then simply be ready to switch out and move onto something new, after giving your flies a run for a decent amount of time.

When using pheasant tailed nymph, then you will want to opt for a size 14 or 16 fly if you can get your hands on them. These sizes tend to have the most success in autumn in all types of water.

It really is next to impossible to select one or two flies that will constantly work wonders when fishing for trout in autumn. However, stock your kit with a number of these options depending upon which trout you are searching for and you will be off to a wonderful start. Be patient with your flies, but be ready and willing to experiment and move onto new flies and new tactics if things are not going quite as you expected. You will find that over time these flies will help you make the most of autumn fishing.
