Clay,

You covered that very well, good job.

jkilroy,

Give what Clay suggested a try, you will find the hidden key, for that day or that week. Then the great part about all this is you will get to start the search all over again, because the mood of the SMB will change.

Once I have found a fly that the trout or bass really like and I have caught a number of them, I will sometimes start changing flies just to see what else they will hit.

The main thing here is you are out there fishing!!!!
