This morning was night and day. Every one was 5-8 fish from hitting their limits.



Then the pressure dropped from 29.73-29.70 and all that was going on was crickets chirping. The fish just shut down. Waited an hour and landed 2-3 more and called it. We threw minnows and everything else at them, but they lock jawed. Front coming in always messes them up.

Keith, just stop by my house and I'll show u in 2 mins. People just make it harder than it looks. It's very easy like the vid u posted. He explained it very well.

That's a good video. The different part that I do for a long cast is to let the line go out some by loosening the grip of the left hand during the "reposition". You can "shoot" a lot of line out by doing that. Makes it easier to drop the fly right where you want it too.

I've been double hauling for a long time time now. I remember when I first learned it, it was the distance equivalent switching from a .22 to a .308 for me. With enough room behind me, I can cast all the way to my backing (and I don't have a short flyline either!). If you flyfish for more than just trout in streams, this is a very valuable technique.

Thanks Carey I need to come by and purchase some near deers anyway so it will be a learning buying trip --LOL--.

Toxarch, desetflyfisher, Sounds like i am on the right track. Thanks for all the input I hope to get out there once when they are biting..
It is really a challenge for me because this is only the third time i have held a fly rod in my hands I need to get up north soon with Carey and try some trout. My brother lives in ARK and he said the trout fishing is good up there. So next time i visit him I am taking the fly rod
Heck I might even go to the park pond and try to catch anything .

Carey I figured it was going to be a good day the pressure was right in there.

Oh wooo, the Double Haul.
Eh !
In a creek the really big poop a good Roll Cast,
I'll say.

(unless you are out in the open, and need distance,
and then, yes, the double haul is effing awesome)

I was in the middle of the creek and there was plenty of room

All u need is the roll cast. No need to act like Brad Pitt in the River Runs Through It. I can roll cast 30-40 ft easily.

Looks like i need to come by for a roll cast lesson too --LOL--.

i was a casualty of the pressure drop. saw tons of sandies, can't even get them to take minnow. only if i had my castnet, could of got 5 limits in once cast.

I took minnows out with me yesterday for the first time due to the low air pressure to start the morning. We still caught more on finessing a tiny fluke. Waisted $10 on minnows for two fish. When they shut down, they shut down.

I wondered why some guy out there kept hollering at me and calling me BRAD!!

New Jr. Lake Record caught with me today. Good job kiddos!

It's still so cold in the morning and my son even thought to quit at that moment.

Thanks for this nice trip and sure he will be more happy to see a certificate!

Ya. We fought ice all morning on the eyes of the rod. 4 lb line and a small amount of ice don't work well together.
