Weber River Sucess

[katghoti]

I put the weight right between them. So if the flies were 12 inches apart I put it six above. (this was the rig the whites liked). When I pushed the scud higher up the line (18 inches) I moved the weight to nine inches. I don't know why this worked (I just thought it would push the scud down close to bottom where the fish where holding. I use a very small strike indicator (one of the foam pinch on types looks like two circles with sticky foam tape I use them all the time, less drag in the water) so it rides lower in the water. My cousin was using one of the large foam indicators (looks like a badmitton birdie large and bulky) and I think it was too large to detect the light hits and was dragging the flies more. The other two guys we saw were using ballondicators and had two on their bright red San Juan, but in the winter, the fish are a bit more sluggish and the takes are lighter, so I use the bare minimum to get the flies down and the smallest indicator to detect the light hits. It was interesting to note, both whites inhaled the scud down their throats and the two big browns here hooked in the roof of their mouth about half way back so I must have bumped them right in their face or they are really hungry
