Chuck:
I don't like rubber, or silicone legs on my sub surface
flies. I like bugs with no longer than shank length marabou
tails. I also like small Crease flies, or minnow patterns, less than 2
inches long. I usually fish size 6 to 10 hooks. I'm not interested
in the small bream. On a good day I might hook and land 1 or 2 dozen
bream, but I' ll have missed, or not connected with 3 times that many.
I'll usually get a fairly solid strike as I strip my fly in, but when I let it
sink or sit, I watch for movement in my fly line, as soon as it starts moving
I'll set the hook, sometimes I miss them, but 80% of the time I'll hook
em. They're picking up the body of the fly, because there are no legs to
grab onto.

.. Anyway, my question is
this... I was using sinking flies (mostly a black bream killer with white
rubber legs that looks like a water
bug),....
Can somebody tell me, do
I need to sinch backand set the hook faster??? Harder???? Is this just a part
of fly fishing???? The ones I did land, the line would take off, and
they'd been well hooked, and I'd get em in, but I misseda a LOT more than I
caught like I said..Thanks in advance, Chuck
