Finally - the Weber has come down far enough (below Echo) to get in and do some fishing.
So far it has been pretty good, not incredible or awesome...but pretty good. Maybe 8 fish per hour.
Catching mostly Cutts and a few nice Brown. Only one Whitefish so far.
Can anyone explain why fish would take a fly over lure or lure over a fly?
I spent a few hours on the river with fly-rod and only landed a few fish...all of them Cutt.
I then switched over to a favorite lure and it was bam, bam, bam...several nice fish in a row with only a few casts in-between fish. And most were bigger more aggressive Brown. Pulling them out of the same hole I ran the fly (nymph) through multiple times.
Would I be correct in assuming/thinking that the fish that are hitting the fly are actually hungry and going for the food value whereas the ones hitting the larger lure are hitting it just out of response / instinct?
