Northern CA & ID Posts: 2604 | Fascinating! What a beautiful little video. It sure demonstrates why dry fly fishing can be difficult when trout are focused on hovering adults. This scenario is very common on Western ponds and lakes. Now if I can just figure out how to get my fly to hover 3" above the water... :) Thanks for the link, Louis! | |

Connecticut Posts: 40 | I was happy when I come across a situation like this, albeit with dragonflies on a bass pond, and there were plenty of sparse branches. I could just pitch casts over the branches and twitch the fly a few inches above the surface. When the fish took, the branches would bend down and free the line. | |

Colorado Posts: 1776 | And some stout tippet on a limber rod! Yes! Fish actually have weight when not suspended in water. | |
