Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Tips on stillwater fly fishing

Warm water stillwater around here starts in late March and finishes up in early October.  In March things are slow.  Small Streamers seem to work.  Nothing top water.  As the water warms up, the fishing gets good.  May and June are the Bluegill and Bass spawn.  Action is fast and furious.  As the summer get hotter, the oxygen content of smaller ponds goes down and fishing is not good midday. In general, fish small stuff in the spring and get bigger as the season progresses.
Each lake is different, but the pattern is there.  Winter is really hard for bass and bluegill on the fly.

Cold water is different.  The rule around here is to get there as soon after it is stocked as possible.  Powerbait works well :)
Where there are real coldwater lakes,  Figure out what and where the fish are for the season and lake.  There is no one secret.  Each lake and season is different.

Bob, try Bass: the Movie. Fly v. Gear. Plenty of info for your purposes. 

For lake fly fishing for trout, you may be able to find a New Fly Fisher series episode with Brian Chan known for his chironomid tactics.

I'll keep thinking...
