		That's interesting.  I don't know what else you could try.  I've encountered similar problems in the past.  Going smaller sounds like a good idea.  I will sometimes try the strategy of raising the rod tip slowly at the end of the drift (usually with the emerger, though sometime also with the dry) and I feel like that can trigger a strike.  If I don't have exactly the right pattern, I don't want the trout to be able to think about it for too long.
