Do you have any success stories on increasing hookups with wets?
I am about 50%, I think.
Is this just the nature of this type of fishing?
Try to get the angle of rod up (not pointed at the drift or down into the water), keep a decent amount of line on the water.
Not sure if I notice a difference in success with mending the line or not. Guess it could help for deeper water.
Do you ever weight your line? I usually do not but have occasionally.
Usually use 2 flies, one off a 3-6 inch dropper from tag end of knot and the other a couple feet down on the point. Usually a nymph rig and I just switched over to wets.
