No Bluegills in the ponds so these are definitely trout hitting the fly. I was considering the small dropper and now that you guys have recommended it I am definitely going to give it a go.
I'm curious about this......... When I troll I have the rod straight out between the pontoons on my tube. I give the line a few jerks here and there. When a fish strikes it's pretty much like regular flyfishing with direct line connection to the fish. In my gear days we always trolled with our rods out the side. In this way the rod was involved in the hookset. I wondered if this would make any difference. How do you guys troll from your tubes?
God Bless,
