Early in the season. Not going to be much surface activity.I'm going wet. Sz.10 Marabou Winged Royal Coachman.It's one of my no activity flies, and I use it to imitate a small baitfish.
I'll start with a cast to the lower end of the red box. It's going to go splat..strip-strip.......drift, all within 2 feet where the fly enters the water. I want the attention of the brown under that tree trunk. The next cast is a repeat 3 to 4 feet up along the trunk and drifting all the way back with a twitch about every 4 - 5 feet.....and so on all the way up to the bank, fishing it all the way back each cast to give plenty of time for the fish to make up it's mind.
If there is a rule in fly fishing it is that there will be a fish under a submerged tree trunk which lays parallel to the flow in the stream. A spot like that has never let me down.
