Thanks for all the info man. I'd like to be as diverse of an angler as possible combing raps, spinners, and this drifting you are talking about. What do you mean by your winter ocmment typically, diff in summer? You saying raps will do better in the summer than they will in the winter? Also whats the size difference on the fish caught with nymphs and raps (if any) in your experience? As I am for quality of quantity.
As for Bowriverblogs day, he hit 7 not 4. Maybe I am not seeing the picture but that seems like a good day via raps to me. Maybe you are implying via a drift you should slam the hole dry since trout school up hard in the winter?
Also, can anyone recommend any books that discuss trout holding waters at different times & seasons? I am still learning on how to read the water.
