Mike: If they are going for nightcrawlers, they will likely hit any number of woollybugger variations or leech flies. Woolybuggers are probably one of the easiest and quickest flies to tie ever created, and I suspect that a ton of list members probably tied one as their first fly. I also suspect that every member of the list has at least a couple variations in their flybox. (If any of you don't, shame on you). Bunny leeches and zonkers are also quite effective.
My MO on the lakes is to head out to where the fish "ought" to be, tie on a black or olive bugger, let out about 30 feet of line, and paddle backwards, effectively trolling the fly until I start getting fish. Then I can either troll back and forth through them, or sit back and cast to where I caught the last fish. You already have a good head start since you have an idea of where to find the fish. Good Luck! Keep us posted on how you do!
