avalon! try and fish the two fly method you'll be surprise what happens next time.
wet fly plus nymph equals fish. if they miss on the strike just feed line back out. rod pointed down stream towards the drift start the retrieve again with a little shake of the rod . i think this will work. just remember keep it in the water.no fancy casting required here. think roll and mend downstream swing, feed it back out ,start all over again. have fun!!!
