for alta lake the best fly is murrays rolled muddler and second is a traditional rolled muddler, both in sizes 8-10. leeches also work and catch both cutts and rainbows but if you want the big boys stick with those two or a minnow (sticklback) pattern

what's the difference between the Murrays and the traditonal? Since Tom Murray created the Rolled muddler wouldn't that be traditional?
