Thought I pass this on, but I'm sure a lot of you know or heard this
already. This is in regards from previous post I've read on what fly to select. In the New Fly Fisher show I viewed Sunday mornings, the angler didn't even bother to look into his fly box until he used his bug screen catcher on the river. I'm sure most of us have seen one before, but it's a fine meshed screen about 2'x3' with two handles. He stands down stream about 4-5' with his bug catcher in the water, as has his friend (upstream) disturb the bottom with his foot. Sure enough, he catches insects in the bug screen. They both observe and make the closest match in first size and then color. Then they plan on the depth, and speed of the drift. It seem to work as they were hooking up on some good size browns. They also make nets with the meshed bug screens. Might be something to look into. -tom |
