Need some tips on fly fishing this beautiful creek, I’ve seen many fat rainbow trout but I can’t seem to get a bite, the fly I’ve used so far is the whooly bugger (black) squirmy wormy, prince nymph, egg and pellet fly. There is no moving water other than the falls from the dam. Definitely a lot of fishing going on in here.

Fish deeper, fish smaller and fish more realistic patterns.
Tight Lines
An intermediate sink line sounds good there if there isn’t heavy underwater structure. For the fly, try using a bead head leech pattern. Strip it in slowly in the winter or if it’s sunny and warmer, strip it in short double pulls.
If the pressure its huge, try more small patterns, natural and less colorfull, matching the real insects no way those trouts want to die for hungry.
