You should tie the dog down in the truck and then tie on a betts popper.

Those fish surprise me how picky and smart they are about what not to bite. If you catch one or two an a particular beetlespin or fly, suddenly nothing will touch it, even on the other side of the pond! I don't know how they communicate but the word gets out and they get lockjaw. They are pretty stubborn about topwater too. They won't touch a popper. I have better luck with a bead head nymph dropper under some sort of buoyant terrestrial. I had to train them to eat live crickets.

An osprey keeps them pretty spooked on that bed too.

A smallish wooly bugger (not bead head) with enough weight to
make it break through the surface tension works well. Jap Beetle patterns are also good. The only dropper I ever use anymore for bream is a San Juan worm.

Walmart used to (May still) sell a little fly kit.

Dip can size and shape with a clear plastic top.

Had about a dozen trashy flies in it, but I would buy those things up every time I saw em for the single black and yellow bee fly.

Clear water it was the deadliest subsurface bream fly I’ve found.

No weight, slow fall. It’s a perfect sight fishing fly.

Those beadhead girdle bugs work good, too.
