Tie something that looks like a pellet of Purina Trout Chow.

yep,right there,they have NO IDEA of what anything natural looks like

My son and I got invited to fish a private pond and when we got there we were told we could keep anything we catch.And then the guy gave an odd and conspiratorial laugh.I asked wt...., and he said he just fed all the fish w/ pellets before we got there and we would'nt be able to catch any.My son trimmed a muddler down to a brown nub and commenced to throwing small handfuls of gravel to simulate pellets hitting the water, followed by his fly. He killed 'em and that guy was so angry and red in the face he kicked us out.Soooo,maybe make some small pellet flies from trimmed deerhair and throw some handfuls of pebbles when ya get there.

You could always tie up some mop flies.  Bright colors, orange, chartreuse, pink.  Did quite well on them last year with stocked trout in a local stream.

+1  I usually take a beetle pattern and cut off the legs.  It's boring, but it works.

Interesting..I'll give those a try too...
