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!

Favorite technic

I prefer to fish on the surface. I will almost always start out with a surface presentation. However, with fishing the goal is naturally to catch fish, so I adapt as necessary as conditions dictate.


does anyone bass fish with lures here? 95% of the time I use a subsurface lure, only at certain times of the day will I wish with a top water bait. its not all that different in fly fishing... yes the surface strike is exciting BUT tie on a wooly bugger or a big stonefly nymph and I guarantee you your trout will start coming in 3-4" bigger throughout the day.

the surface take -- there's nothing like it. BUT a stiff wooly bugger take or a big hit on a large stonefly under the water can be equally as exciting... there is a visual to it and a feeling of the take that you dont always get dry fly fishing.

to each their own, but nowadays i look forward to a nymph catch even moreso than a dry fly.
 
I love using all of them. Because if one doesn't work the other one might. So you may have to change flies to get the right tech. right guys.
 
streamer fishing for sure is my favorite especially light colored or big flashy things. When I am nymphing in water that has the slightest possibility for bigger fish my first fly is almost always some sort of sculpin pattern. Fishing with mice is always fun on top though
