[laugh] ..........Do you get some kind of a feeling when you look at all those flies in your box?
Or when you look at the water, the Weather, the Sky, the...???
Something triggers your mind to select something. [/reply]
Yes, I get a feeling when I look at those flies in the box. A feeling that I a fly looks like it is "buggy" and it should work. When it works on the next trip I expect it to work. When it does not work I get this feeling looking at the box that I don't know a darn thing about what fish like and why. [pirate]
The water, the weather and the sky what I know about that is the same thing that you get from reading the fishing rags and listening to guys talk. Bright day = bright colored flashy flies. Dull day = more subdued to dark colors and maybe a little flash. Rainy days can be good fishing days. Rainy days and snowy days can mean a significant BWO hatch.
But the number one rule that I have come to feel is that there are lots of exceptions to any rule when you are thinking fishing.
I, also, know a couple of fish whisperers who just know that it is the day for a fly but don't know exactly why they know.
