[VFB] QUOTE FOR THE DAY
It is easy to tell tourists from tarpon. Tarpon have a narrow, bony plate inside the mouth of their lower jaw. Tourists have both upper and lower plates.

[VFB] Re: Active Nymphing was QUOTE FOR THE DAY
Tom and you are men after me own heart. I did not have anyone to teach me but I found out that doing it this way had been real effective for me. That drift with some twitching has taken a lot of fish when others had a hard time catching fish. That lift at the end of the swing is deadly. I would say I catch about 90% of my fish there when nymping or using buggers. I am self taught and have never had the desire to use bobbers. I know I am stepping on some toes but to me worms and bobbers go together.. LOL Tom, any time you can come by, you are welcome, we will miss you at the Sowbug.

When I started nymphing without a strike indicator, my catch rate increased. I have used the same technique and have also caught fish at all stages of the presentation. The fly is only part of the technique, the rest is presentation, presentation, presentation. Keeping the fly in the water is very important, even fishing out a bad cast can produce a catch. I can usually spot a novice by watching the number of false casts. The fly in the water is what catches the fish, the fly in the air doesn't.

He was a nymph fisherman (anyone who fishes the Weber River where I fish most often is) and he taught me to dead drift the fly behind a strike indicator. Later I talked to another friend who had been a fly tyer and fly fisher for years, and asked him if he used a strike indicator and the dead drift. He said no, he always used a shorter line and followed it as it drifted through the deep holes. So I tried his technique and started catching more fish. Several years later I realized what I was doing is called High Sticking and it is still my preferred method to dig a bunch of fish out of a deep hole. It always includes a lift at the end, and often I strip it back, and have caught fish both ways. Also with a nymph and a swing, especially when there are caddis hatching. While the basic idea of the dead drift is sound, but I don't think it is as important as some people think. Sometimes adding a little motion to the fly is exactly what the fish need to strike. If I am fishing a long, deep run, I will often combine them all... Maybe cast into a back eddy, let the fly sink then strip it into the main current, let it dead drift until it comes close to me, then lift the line and high stick through the water next to me, with a swing on the end, followed by stripping the line back. I have caught fish at all stages of the presentation of the fly. I think we spend too much time wondering what a fly represents . Most often, it is just something that looks like food to the fish, and movement can be a trigger. Perhaps the most important thing is just keeping the fly in the water, and close to the bottom.

The only downside is that my intention to attend Sowbug this year has been derailed by $3000.00 in medical expenses (since I was in the hospital in December and January, it get to pay for two years worth of deductibles). I was really looking forward to seeing Tony again, but my son is a trucker, and if he has a run this summer that comes within 200 miles of Flippin, I'll be there to visit (I'll call first).

[VFB] Re: The lift - The way I do it.
I don't know how others do the lift, but I do it just like I lift my line for a roll cast. When I get to the 12:00 position, I gently let my rod down again to parallel and let the line drift down stream again as I would in casting across a stream and letting the line float down. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but Hey! It works for me. Close your eyes, lift your arm while sitting in your recliner, and you can FEEL it!.

What I do depends on: Depth speed of the water, and The fish. Generally, I lift the rod tip slightly @ the end of the swing if nothing happens I let it slowly drop back. I get a lot of hits on the lift. Stripping back I get hits either near the top of the strip or @ the pause. Fishing tailwaters like Taneycomo in Missouri, I've had 30-50 fish days w/ a bugger or a bead head. The last time I was there I caught 30 (mostly rainbow) in an hour a half rarely facing upstream. I hate using strike indicators, but that's probably because I never really learned how:) I only use them when I'm missing a lot while drifting, I'm trying to keep the fly off or right @ the bottom or if I'm working an eddy.

[VFB] Re: The lift - was Active Nymphing
Mike, It is a personal thing with me. I concentrate on the line. I get satisfaction of knowing when to set the hook by watching my line. It is full concentration. I have fished with an indicator twice and have caught fish both times but no satisfaction for me. I tease my fishing buddies that use indicators but that is all it is, just teasing. I will admit, times they have out fished me quite a bit but I still fish like I enjoy.
