I've been fishing subsurface flies (soft hackles) and the vegitation is getting really tall. It's about 8 inches from the surface now. When I strip my fly slowly in after it sinks a bit I can see fish charging it, then follow it then it picks hooks on some grass and it turns into a 5 inch piece of grass floating throught the water. The fish turn away when the grass gets hooked. I pull it out clean the fly and repeat. Any tips? should I try start my retrieve quicker so it rides above the vegetation? Or switch to topwater?Kinda annoying to clean a fly after everycast.
