I take a small, light colored nymph and cast cross current or slightly diagonal down stream. Strip it back to you so that the nymph is swimming just under the surface of the water at a fairly quick pace. It's surprisingly effective. <br /><br />Beautiful photo's as always!Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05915146928289239693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7050365015235775568.post-68761553575480200112013-07-27T09:06:26.830-04:002013-07-27T09:06:26.830-04:00cphaneuf,

I have found that trout fishing can be somewhat trail and error, especially when trying to solve the hatch puzzle. Glad you guys were able to connect.
