they told me to be sure i bring in a picture of that big trout
when i get it- yeah, right - i feel like it will never happen!

Ahhhh, but it will, and then the infection really starts to spread. It usually
infects the head and heart first and then moves rapidly to the wallet.

Ahhhh, but it will,

thanks for the encouragement


and then the infection really starts to spread.

feeling like i do at this point, i can only imagine what will happen when i
get that trout. i had gotten one on my spin rod, when i first started
fishing, but i am anxious to repeat the experinece on my fly rod.
this fishin stuff is addictive, though. i will never let it interfere with
my schoolwork, however, my housekeeping *has* suffered. i am usually a
meticulous housekeeper- my offspring tell me i am neurotic, (but what the
hell do they know- they're slobs :-}), but i find myself breaking promise
after promise to myself to get caught up on laundry, or dusting, or grocery
shopping.....
very uncharacteristic

indeed

and then moves rapidly to the wallet.

i can see how that could happen!

Try a search on Loch style flyfishing. You will find some ideas to try that
appear to apply to trout fishing all over the world.

Generally all you need is a floating line. Weighted flies will help if you
feel they do not get down enough. Another great aid is a drogue, essentially
a water parachute used to slow boat drift and adjust attitudein windy
conditions.

Don't stick to minnow patterns many nymph, chronomid and dry fly patterns
work just as well, especially in teams of two or three depending on local
regulations. A good one to add to the box is the carrot nymph.

You will find it is the action you put on the fly that attracts fish
attention. Often with minnows I find the stop time where the fly is sinking
is the time they seem to be taken. Nymphs etc benefit from long 'slow'
steady pulls to full arm extension.

Don't go wild with the rod flick to set the hook either. I reckon more fish
are lost that way than any other. Keep the line straight in the water to
maintain contact with your flies and use your 'left' hand on the line to
pull the line back to set the hook, then raise the rod to fight the fish.

Here are some links

The second article is from one of Australia's leading guides and arguably
experts on loch style fishing. Go to the flylife home page to order some of
his books if you want to learn more.

i am thinking of heading out to a local lake sunday mornin to rent a boat
and do some trout fishing.
my question is this: does one use different flies for that kind of trout
fishing than for stream fishing? if so, what?
i have seen the trout that come out of that lake, and they can be pretty
large, so i'm guessing larger flies. also, it is a stocked lake, and
maybe
that makes a difference in how to fish it?
i appreciate any advice.
thanks in advance-

fear not- i'm sure he'll swing at it when he gets back...
or maybe he'll surprise us, and take it for the frivolous, grin inducing
remark it was intended and leave it alone .......
anyway, we can always just ignore him.
