I'v been fishing these past 3months and i dont know if it's the water i choose to fish in or if it's all the water that we have here in and near fresno. but so far all i'v been able to catch is small fry. it's like when i use the fly rod all i get is small fish, if i use the spin rod i catch legal fish to take home.
it's so much more fun with the fly rod, and the little one are awesome to catch, put up some good fights. but i think it's time to catch one that is alittle bigger.

so my question is, is it the line? i'v been using a floating line, it's always near top, does great in fast moving waters. but i went and bought a sink tip rocket taper. hope it goes deep enough where the bigger fish will be.
but i also heard it's harder to know when it's biting.
i will have to test it out tomorrow.

every time i see a bigger fish or big fish it's always just alittle deeper than what i can do. rivers here isn't too deep. but it's always about 5-6 feet deeper than my fly are. so, so far i'v been catching most of my fish where the water meets the rocks and have a fast moving water.

how are the fishing style different from fast water and slow or calm waters?
