In another thread, Hidehunter said that the best advise he ever got was;
"When the bobber goes under - pull!" LOL
I was a wanderer too. I remember my dad telling me;
"You can't catch a fish if your line's not in the water"
I still remind myself of that to this day.

Fish the "edges".
They was either biting yesterday, or you should come back tomorrow.

If you don't cover the hook point with that
worm, they'll get your bait and be gone!

Bill from PA
PBS fishing host on the program outdoor Wisconsin " It's not that difficult just remember three rules of fishing 1, fish are dumb, 2, fish eat when they are hungry, 3, fish are dumb. Sometimes we make it more complicated than it has to be.Hmmmm.
That advice is worth a library of books!Quote:

This site's about sharing!
To this day when ever I get a fish on I can hear my father telling me "Keep his head up"
And back when I used bait he would say "There isn't anything fun about baiting a hook or taking a fish off the hook. All of the fun is when the fish is still in the water."

Think if you were a trout - would you rather try to eat a hamburger from a McDonald's truck passing by at 55 mph, or sit down at the table to eat it? Thats right, you would want to sit down at the table. Fish your fly like it's a McDonalds hamburger you want the fish to have a reasonable chance to eat.

Don't let your line go slack .
You have to pay attention cause the fish do .
"A cold stream is a good place to stash a few beers for later".
Pick it up and lay it down.
Never step into the water without taking a cast into the area first.
How many times have you stepped into a stream or waded forward in hope of setting up a good casting angle only to find you spooked a nice fish! Even worse when the spooked fish runs upstream into your target area, putting down any potential hook ups.
Now I always try a few casts into an area before I wade through. Most of the time I find nobody is home, but every once and a while I hook up with a nice fish.

It's a great day for fly fishing!
The fish are on the bottom.
'follow the foam line'
Most people would rather see the river you are fishing in a picture, than 15 pictures of the fish you caught. Kinda like looking at family films the family likes them but most people would rather watch TV. Ron
Minimize your false casts.
