Try woolly buggers, taken a variety of colors from black to while, fish the dark colors of a cloudy day and bright colors on a bright day, including white.
 
Try brown or black beetles if you want to try on top. They may be pellet fed.
 
If its anything like the private trout pond I fished, woolly buggers work well. A 6 weight with a sink tip line and 3X tippet should do the trick. Just cast it out there, let it sink near the bottom and strip it in. And brace yourself, they hit hard. :-D
