If the fish are holding in broken water you can approach closer, in the pools you have to be very careful. Wild trout in small streams are sensitive to vibrations, so walk softly. I never use a strike indicator.Brk Trthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12677442640158367831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7050365015235775568.post-624162042687090072013-04-27T05:53:08.345-04:002013-04-27T05:53:08.345-04:00DRYFLYGUY,

Also, how many feet of line do you normally fish with. Basically i like to know how close i can get to the fish before spook them. How do you deal with that, or do you consider it not a big issue? Do you think using a strike indicator on a small stream is useful, or is it conter productive? Sorry for so many questions, but i'm tired of my low catch rates.<br />Thanks Cliffcphaneufhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12930630181388505765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7050365015235775568.post-60431361517820435612013-04-26T06:54:12.790-04:002013-04-26T06:54:12.790-04:00brk trt,
