Hey
Just wanted to see if I met someone on this board today.
I was on the bow this morning, gave you a wave across the water. Then I asked for some advice on how to properly nymph with an indicator. You gave me some awesome advice. Thank you so much. I am just learning the ropes and you helped a ton. Landed two little rainbows after that. I yelled tight lines to you before I went walking....and you replied broken reel.
The one thing that I have noticed about this sport is the camaraderie. Whether it be in a fly shop or on the river most people are always willing to give advice or just shoot the *hit. I love this about the sport, most tell me it is a solitary sport, but outside of actual fishing I don't believe this is so.
A couple of other questions that came about while I was fishing.
When I was tossing my nymph rig I had a fish attack my pink indicator twice in 5 seconds (I know I know PINK, I can see this color the best). So I switched over hopper dropper in case they were deciding to rise. Was this the correct move?
Second, the second rainbow, I caught him by the tail, yes the actual tail, why did this happen? Did he miss my copper john and then get hooked? It was funny to me anyhow.
Before I switched over tot he hopper dropper, I had two fish get away from me pretty quickly. I think in my excitement I forget to set the hook. How hard should I be pulling when I set the hook in the future?
Have a great day.
