Chuck Even though I am not very far from great trout fishing, I mostly fish for bluegills and bass.
A simple easy pattern is a mohair leech or marabou leech with a beaded chain head (two beads from keychain material. You can scrounge this material or buy it at a hardware store for about $0.50 per ft) This type of head allows you to get the fly down. If you fish near structure, try to put the fly where a hidden gill can dart out from a void and latch onto it. I like to tie it is size 14.
