Weeds are a major issue this year. Pretty much check/set on every drift. I'm not slaying them by any means, but probably averaging 12-15 hook-ups per trip.[/quote]
+1 on the weeds. They are enough of a problem that Ive pretty much gone with a classic bounce rig there. (indicator, 3-4 ft leader, top fly via double surgeons knot, one foot leader, double surgeons and 2nd fly, split shot on the bottom, off one of the tag ends of the leader, about 8-10 inches below the 2nd fly. It has notably cut down on time picking weeds off the flies and I feel the presentation is still good. Still happens some though.
Like you, I wouldn't say I consistently slay them, (sometimes it is hot, sometimes not so much) but overall, the action is pretty consistent. Fun place to fish, but it can humble an angler too.
