When I was fishing Lost Valley Res last weekend the bait fisherman were catching all the fish with worms or powerbait on the bottom. The water was warm & the fish were deep.
I threw everything at them along with my old tried & true deep methods with a high density super fast sinking line, nymphs, leeches & super slow or no retrives.
The bait people kicked my rear end![blush]
I found myself wishing I was set up to try the deep nymphing tecnique that Utahflygoddess has been talking about with the breakaway indicator & etc. In retrospect they may have been feeding on some type of chronomid.
Utahflygoddess if you read this my question is what are you using to sink the fly? Are you tying weighted flys? Split shot set at the eye of the hook or a certain distance away? Favorite flys for this application?
Are you moving it at all or just totaly dead drift?
Any tips would be apreciated! Looks like this old dog needs to learn a new trick
