Just to let you know. Son Joe and friend caught 45 good sized Sandies,
(white bass) on the North Bosque River just above the 185 bridge on
Saturday. That means they're running the Middle and South Bosque and
probably Hog Creek, all tributaries feeding Lake Waco.

BTW, they caught their Sandies on Rat-L-Traps and other shallow running
crankbaits, but
anything that will run just under the surface should produce. Colors:
blue/chrome, black/chrome

Absolutely Tom, I couldn't agree more with your observations. 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,
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 woul
This discussion has been very helpful for me both in understanding
Osthoff's book and the process. Now I want to talk about the "lift".
Can you make me feel this? We are at the end of the swing. I assume
the flyrod is pointing straight down the river at the fly. Simply
raise the fly rod? Slow
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.

While I'm not as experienced a fly fisherman as many in this group, I'm
willing to give this a shot. 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

Don't knock what works for you. It works for me too.

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
