Don,
Are you sure it's trout and not some other kind of fish? I was fishing a pond awhile back and getting light hits for a good portion of two hours. I finally managed to connect, only to find myself attached to a nice sized bluegill. My fly was too big for his mouth. I thought it was trout.
Beyond that the small fly dropper has worked for me before and the quicker retrieve that FG recommended might help. (You'd think slower would be better but what you might need is a reaction strike, not a nip)
[cool][cool]Must be tough having to battle those double digit fish and, on top of that, listen to the growns of those jealous dry fly purists. Glad you're willing 'cause I know somebody has to do it.
