I have had no luck so far this season. Four times out and been skunked everytime. This morning i hit pennypack a spotted eight to ten trout just sitting there. I entered the water aboutfifty feet upstream and started to slowly work my way down. I got close enough to see them laugh at me.
I started with a #12 pheasent tail nymph with no luck. Switched over to a #14 prince bead head again no luck. I have a 5wt line with a 6x leader and a 2lb tippet. I believe my casting technique is on the mark. I did notice that the water was moving semi quickly and my fly was no getting low enough so i picked up some xink (fly sink). I tried split shot but kept getting hung up on rocks and i feel that it totaly changes the dynamic of the cast. Just doesn't feel right. I believe i should have used a smaller nymph maybe #14 or #16? The water was very cold today i dont have a thermometer but i would guess it was 37-40f Anyway, i was wondering if anyone had any experince with using liquid fly sink and would love to know what exactly this stuff is.
Any critiques as to my form would be much appreciated.
Thanks ahead.
