Finally found the right fly!

It took three days to find something that worked at Lake Almanor on my weekend trip at the end of the summer.  I went to the dark side and started out trying to do some spin rod fishing using Rapala lures and trolling speedy shiners and Silvertrons.  I feel like I tried everything in the tackle box.  The only thing caught was one 15 inch salmon, a blue gill and a couple bass. The last day I noticed that the fish were rolling on top and it looked like they were chasing fish and not hitting flies on top of the water.  I decided to pull out the fly rod.  I tried a fly that is suppose to look like a tiny dead fish that sits on top of the water with no luck.  I also tried a while clouser minnow and got nothing.  I then tried a white zonker type streamer. This was the money maker.  I had 4 bites in 5 - 10 minutes and caught 2 decent fish (should have had 4). I wish I had pulled out my fly rod two days earlier!
