hey guys, I have been fly fishing for 4 years now but I don't target trout I usually target bass, bluegills, and cat fish. I want to start for trout I have caught a few on my fly rod but they were stockies. So where do I look in the stream, how can I identify the catch and what patterns to use. I guess start me from square one. Thanks for any help.

Try to find a mentor or mentors. Is there a flyfishing club nearby? A Trout Unlimited chapter? Do you know someone who is experienced at flyfishing, and who is also interested in showing people how to do it?

Some people are very good at flyfishing, but are either uninterested in, or not very good at, teaching other people about flyfishing. And some people are happy to share, but don't know much.

If you can find someone who is both skilled and who is a good teacher, you will learn a great deal in a short time.
