Congrats !!! Haven t been up to the Blacksmith in a few years glad to hear you able to catch some fish up there.
Are fishing with a strike indicator ? If I see my Indicator move in a unnatural way Ill give a light quick pull doesn't take much to set the hook with a fly.
As far as reeling the fish in I find it easier to strip the line in and control the drag with my hand If its a real fighter the fish will usually pull all slack out of the line anyay then I palm my reel to control the drag.
