I rarely get to fish anything approaching still water. Once,
though, I got unlucky at Connetquot,and to stay next to Dad, had to
take the two beats below the dam. I gave Dad the good beat, and he
got to fish the dam outflow, but that left me with a bit of river
that looked more like a lake. Frankly, I had no clue how to
effectively fish it, and thought that still water techniques would
have gotten me alot further than what I knew and loved. I'm more
or less clueless on how to fish for trout when the water ain't
moving.

How about some contributions that would help someone used to fishing
in a current to effectively fish still water?

Wait..... wait.... wait.... wait.... wait.... wait.... wait....
twitch. Repeat.

No ****?? That's it?? ... and people still do it?

Not if there's moving water around. Well, sometimes if you're with a good
friend on the 'Paug.

How can you tell where the damn fish are... or do they come to you?

That "twitch" will bring 'em runnin' *IF* you get the "wait.... wait" part
just right.

I find about the only way to get fish in still water, is to get in my float
tube and almost troll the fly. A few twitches while moving and cast to the
rises also.
