Looking for some advice here. Yesterday tried to fish the Tobyhanna in the game lands and water was really high. After an hour with no success I decided to try my hand at Kistler Run for some wild brookies. I haven't fished for wild brookies since the seventies and that was with a can of worms and a spinning rig. Anyway I spent 90% of my time untangling and breaking off perfectly good flies and leaders and retying. I was also skipping a lot of good water that was simply too tight to even try. How do you guys usually fish these small runs through the forrest. I was trying to fish upstream initially and gave up after losing a dozen flies. When I decided to change tactics and fish downstream, wading right in the run, just using wets and nymphs and just drifting down with the current about 10 ft. or so and retreaving and repeating in another lane, I started to have some fun. Actually caught my first wild trout, and 8 inch beauty on a fly. Only one of the day though. But it whet my appetite. Decided I've got to do more of this and learn how to do this properly. Thanks for your input.
