Spring Run off (was Um....)

waitaminutewaitaminute..... you just started a thread about nymphing and never answered back. Now you're starting another thread, looking for more secrets of the trade? OH! ...you want me to regale you with tall tales of my dashing failure. OK, I tried a single BH hot prince and single BH zebra with no luck and then tried a wooley booger with no luck. I manage to tangle my line on my pole at least one out of every 3-4 casts and snag a bush once every seven. On the bright side, when it all comes together, I can get a #12 BWO straight out about 20 yds and I got my leader/tippet tied correctly (blood knots at 2x, 4x, 5x) so it will lie down nicely when I don't hack the cast. My mending skills are better than a push in the eye with a dry stick. I'm not catching fish, yet, but the mechanics are improving steadily. Happy?  nb
