Still water primer???

"Dave LaCourse"

If you can, Scott, get a couple of copies of "Flyfishing and Tying
Journal."
Another favorite is a woolly bugger fished just off of the bottom.
Hopefully the pond/lake will not be much deaper than 25 feet.

Yes, pretend your fishing for lethargic smallmouth...

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?


spinning rig, flourocarbon line, stormz or rapala...g if you're into
catching. penns creek is the only place i've fished still water for
trout...and, as you know, the fish don't seem to be there until the bugs
appear. i'd try a dry/nymph dropper rig...let it sit, then bump it a bit.
