I played the Joe Humphreys DVD on dry flies and small streams again last night and was struck by his advice to work the stream quickly, casting to a different spot each time because "the trout had a chance to see the fly on the first cast."

In the DVD, he is fishing for Eastern Brookies, which in my limited experence seem more eager to take a dry than Browns. The little streams I fish are populated mostly by Browns with some Bows and only a few Brookies.

Compared to Humphreys, I work a stream more slowly than molasses flows in January, making several casts to specific structure such as above water rocks, undercut banks, trees lying parallel to the bank, and so on.

My question: Do you fish quickly or slowly and why?
