Any suggestions?

[Image: happy.gif][font "Garamond"][#008000][size 4]There aren't not too many places to fish within a ½ hours drive of my house except pay & play lakes and three regional parks. So I headed out for a local lake that was just stocked on Monday, more so to do a little casting practice and if the fish Gods permitted a bit of C&R. The power bait junkies were having good success but not yours truly. After floating a few dries, I switched to nymphing. Nada. Anyone been successful with the scenario that I mentioned? Maybe I might have to tie a fly that resembles a PB.[/size][/#008000][/font] [font "Garamond"][#008000][size 4]Any patterns that comes to mind?[/size][/#008000][/font]

[center][font "Garamond"][#008000][size 4][Image: happy.gif]Hey Mac I took liberties with your recipe and made a batch of corn fritters. Only had one problem, it was lunch time soI ate them all. How about that for a fishy tale [tail] or what ever. LOl[/size][/#008000][/font]

It is all about the fly. Are you trying the indicator and suspending the fly?
I would try a 9 foot leader, put a nymph on and maybe a second one a foot up of different size or even different nymph, set the indicator at 5' and work from there.
I have had many a days on the put and take ponds that I was making the bait casters mad. You can do it. I would be concerned about copying color or size as it is the smell which a fly doesn't have so give them something different.

[center][font "Garamond"][#008000][size 4][Image: happy.gif]Yes I was using an indicator but it was for nought as I left my floaten at home. Had the indicator set about 4' up as I estimated the water to be about 5' deep at the point I was casting to. Thanks FGD will give some of those suggestions a try. [/size][/#008000][/font]

[font "Garamond"][#008000][size 4][inline "glo ball 005.jpg"][Image: happy.gif]Put together a few of these Glo Balls thinking that the planters seem to like power bait. This one has a bit of wire tied on and others not. Will give these a go Tuesday.[/size][/#008000][/font]

my reply would be drink a beer and keep trying and that glo-ball might have helped me yesterday on the salmon. My other would be have a beer and fish some more. Last if you don't drink ,fish more and have fun trying.

[font "Garamond"][#008000][size 4][Image: happy.gif]Since I don't drink any brew until the warm weather settles in, will a martini or two be okay?[/size][/#008000][/font]
