The owner of my local lake says the rudd have spawned 7 times this year and his lake is full of rudd fry. What is the best rudd fry pattern? I normally use sinfoil's fry, with just a black head as the eye doesn't seem to make any difference, or appetizer.

Anything you would use for a roach fry more or less,match the size of the fry.
Spawned seven times in one year......nah.

Ruddy hell.....
I'd stick with modern general fry patterns with movement, they are far better than the old fashioned patterns like Jersey Herd, Sinfoils Fry, Polystickle etc....
So go with:-
White Hummungus's
White and Silver Minkie
White & Silver Snake.
If you really want to stick to old school patterns Appetizer or Jack Frost
would be my choice
Just match the size of fly to size of fry...
No way have Rudd spawned 7 times this year !!.......unless someone knows something I don't.
Generally fry hatch the 1st or 2nd week of June depending on water temperature and grown on from there.....that's always been the case on the Midlands reservoirs....

I like the martin's minow style patterns (at least for rivers)
