Welcome back to the new NEFF. Take a break from Twitter and Facebook. You don't go to Dicks for your fly fishing gear, you go to your local fly fishing store. Enjoy!
OM,
There is an edit button at the bottom of your post. It only stays there for some length of time, not sure how long.
You can use that to edit your post; you don't have to re-post!
Cheers....
Practice tying the knots at home first. It's a lot harder tying knots when the trout are jumping out of the water during a great hatch.......:dizzy:
'Building back'......... you are probably correct. You may have to replace or add to your leader/tippet section when fishing a 'dropper'...
Sonny,
That's a good question! ........... :dizzy:
I just bought and read most of Rick Hafele's book/dvd: Nymph-Fishing, Rivers and streams.
I would generally say....... you have to fish the fly-pattern at the depth you expect the natural insect to be at.
You may be fishing your pattern at...
Ant,
As far as I know...... as of now :dizzy:
Hendrickson...... Ephemerella subvaria
Dark hendrickson..... Ephemerella needhami
Whichever Hendrickson is hatching, just try to match
size, shape, color.
Qg.
Matt,
Thank you for the follow-up!
Sometimes after a few good photos, there still may be questions about an idenity!
* I need a digital camera.............. :dizzy:
Qg.
Every stream has different water flow issues. The fact that you saw fish and caught fish there means some fish are still holding that stream location. Are they stockies , or hold-overs ? Do you know ? What percentage of the stocked fish are still there ?
My post was mainly about 'stockies'...
Guys,
I think the question comes up because most of the time little or no fish are caught after high water conditions! IMHO.....
The 'holdovers'( residents) may be able to cope with the conditions, but I don't think the 'stockies' can. I think most of them get pushed downstream and are lost...
