If we caught fish on every trip, it would be called " Catching". We don't, and that's why it's called "Fishing".

Thanks guys the long and short is this; you need a lot of perseverance cause those fish WILL give you the bird at one stage or another and make you question everything you think you know about them and it's then where the manne gets separated from the muise I mean who wants to get up early and sit on a boat for many hours not getting a sniff? It's easier to target smallmouth in the rapids right or casting a dry to a rising fish?  :fshn:

Gerrit.
Thanks for posting boet. What you do ITO Largies is well known on Flytalk, but there are very, very few posts on Ultimate concerning these elusive fish.

May have your permission to tell everyone of how you came to live virtually on the water in PARYS. I think that if the folks had a better sense of your dedication they would appreciate your posts more. w;k
