Use Fish under vegetation or where ever crickets or grasshoppers are dropping onto the water. Don't worry about the finesse of your presentation as these things land heavily and a bit of a splash will atrract any fishes attention (they will be looking out for them as these reprent a very good meal to any large trout). Takes are generally vigorous and sudden.
