Just an update on my trip last week. We fished down in town all 3 days and saw quite a few fish. I had about 20 hookups but only landed one. Many were only on for a few seconds.
Fish were really spooky, if they saw your sinkers or fly they swam away from it. I also had hook problems, breaking several and had several more straighten out after hooking fish. I also had a lot of flies that were weighted to heavy, seems important to have a natural drift.
I had a guy wade in next to me and hook fish one after another. It was just unbelievable. I finally asked him what he was using and he showed me, a little piece of black sponge on a hook.
Going back next week for revenge armed with some super heavy duty Gamakatsu hooks and some simple estaz flies.
