I think this post proves one thing. And that is that no one knows for sure what in our flys triggers a fish to strike or not. I personnaly hope no one figures it out either.
I used to raise and race homing pigeons. One of the big areas of investigation is how do they find thier way home over hundreds of miles faster than you can drive it? If they ever find out for sure then all the fun/mystery would go out of it. Same for fly-fishing. If we ever find out for sure what makes a trout strike a fly, guess I'll have to quit.
Hurly
