Thanks Tube,
A lot of what you said restored my confidence as to whether I was doing something wrong. I will say this "missed strike" phenomenon occurs most often when the fish are in a neutral or negative mood. When you do get a strike under those circumstances it's pretty frustrating not to hook up.
Your input is much appreciated and up here in Canada we have a two dollar coin (The "Toonie") Your dissertation would be worthy of a handful of those.
Thanks,
Don
P.S. I'm coming to Rhode Island in a couple of weeks to do some serious bluegill flyfishing on a private lake. I will make sure I "go to school" on the gills. By the way on that trip last year I loaned my buddy my Fat Cat while I finned around in the Glide Rider. He bought a Fish Cat 4 late last summer and has been fishing from a tube ever since.
