So we went out to the elbow yesterday and got there around 7 am fished our way back to Bragg Creek. Neither of us caught a fish or even had a bite and we are both becoming fed up with fly fishing. This is what bugs me I went out last year in about Aug - Oct and just was happy to be on the river, loving the feeling of the river washing past me and looking at the beauty on the banks here in our own city I would go to the same spot just down off deerfoot south of the bridge by the driving range just after the bow bottom turn off. I park at the driving range and walk straight in there. To date I have hooked 10 fish and Caught 1 which is good enough I am happy with that but I have been out a ton of times with nothing and had no action at all. Yesterday changed it from enjoying the beauty to frustration I can enjoy the beauty with out getting up early and putting on all the gear. I would like to have some action while I am out there and i understand that not everytime you go out will there be but I know it isnt that the fish aren't there they just dont like what I am doing.
My Problem Areas:
My water reading is weak?
I dont have the money to drop on another reel and line so I can't have a stinking line and a floating, I am set up with floating line.
I am super happy with my casting I can place it pretty much where ever I want, I just dont know where I should place it?
I have no clue how to nymph. My flying ant has got me the most action.
So someone please help me. I need good to the point advice (please do not suggest books, to the point works alot better for me)
Help me enjoy this what could be a very wonderful sport.
Second year turned back into to a frist timer
