the fish in that area seem to be pretty deep and picky until it really warms up. you have to get to the bottom and fish the deeper holes with sows, scuds, pts, hare's ear, or prince and they are usually taking 16-18 and it is always good to trail a small 20-24 red midge like a serendipity or a zebra midge.

That brings up another question as far as adding weight is it just me or adding small split shot to my leader screws up my casts makes my casts like whipping a rubber band back and forth ? and my fly plops in the water. Is that normal ? there 1/16 & 1/32 splitshots

Weight does make it tougher but if your flys are not getting down to the fish you are not going to catch them. also lengthen your leader,yea it will make it tough to cast but with the waters raising you have to do it.

dont fling your cast so much. just high stick your rod and then at the bottom of your drift fling your line up stream and do it all over again and you never really need to dry fly cast and you will eliminate a lot of knots and snags. when the fish are deep i often use a split shot that most ice fisherman use - I just get a bag from ace or sportsmans - they are much bigger than most use, but it gets me to the bottom faster

What would be the distance for most trailer flies?

NICE!

roll cast generally does work better nymphing.

Proline: 6" to 12" generally

Fished the weber again today I was in the Wanship area and it was killer day I was hooking them right and left mostly whites and carp only a few browns but not complaining just catching fish was a blast. Used a 12 bh prince trailed by a 14 prince just roll casted up stream.

Oh quick question on strike indicators Ive been using the pinch on palsa ones but once on the line they cant be adjusted and cant be reused. I Aslo posted a message on the dwr board was advised that if they weren't packed out they could be fatal to fish I was looking for a reusable solution that could be adjusted to fish different depths any suggestion ?

I personally like the small yarn ones. They can easily be adjusted. Go to your local fly shop or Sportmans, and they can hook you up. [cool]

[black][size 3]Yarn are good except on windy days and you have to treat them from time to time. I like the Bio-strike on very tiny flies to help get them out and all else I use the styro balls with the tooth pick. I have some real small ones for those spookie fish that work great.[/size][/black]

I use Fish Pimp strike indicators available at Sportsman's Warehouse. They come in 2 sizes, 3 colors, and are adjustable via rubber tubing. The best foam indicators I have used.

I like to use the bio-strike indicator. It is easy to see there is one bad thing about it on clear water days the fish can see it to.

Fished the weber toady near coalville was it was really windy but manged to catch a handful of whities, 1 brown 1 bow. At points the river is extremely low so low you can see the bottom of the river and dried out bed rock

Oh quick question I switch from palsa pinch on indicators to bio-strike and its the darned thing in three separate incidents the fish kept hitting the bio-strike switched back to the palsa's

Anybody else have this happen to them

Those both look like browns to me!

I have had fish hit my indicators no matter what I am using. []

Happens a fair amout to me. Thats why I like to use a big attractor fly for a strike indicator.

I attached two pictures from last Friday. A nice brown (~17-inches)that nailed my hopper being used as a strike indicator (the close-up is meant to show the hopper in his upper jaw).

[#800040]I have them hit the indicator a lot. I do like the bio-strike to get the flies out, specially on windy days, but I use the little styro balls and a tooth pick most of the time and yes, the fish will hit the indicator. If you are lucky, you can see them hit the indicator then dive for the dropper. Have caught a bunch like that.[/#800040]
[#800040]I am a Chernobyl Ant freak....[crazy]I love those things as an indicator![][/#800040]

[black][size 3]Hey Sinergy,[/size][/black]

[size 3]It sounds to me like the genesis of a new fly pattern "Sinergy's Bio-strike".[/size]

[size 3]Let us know how it turns out, and what it looks like.[/size]

hahaha thats funny [laugh] after the 3rd strike I was thinking about stuffing a small fly in the bio bait and tying it to the loop on the leader had a good chuckle thought that would be crazy dismissed it but from the previous post maybe all give it a try [cool]
