Please don't freak I know that "bubble and fly" with spinning gear is not "real" fly fishing but its the best I can do right now. That said I tried it for the first time today and while I did land a nice 13" rainbow I was having a hell of a time keeping the flies on top of the water. I know my presentation is still very rough, (tips on that would help to if any one is familiar with the method) but when I did get the fly out on the water and floating when I would try and "work it" ya know not just let it sit and float but try to get it to look like a fly it would go under....... bummer.... Then once it does go under and get wet how do I get it dry enough to float again (I would blow real hard on it, must be a better way) Any tips that you guys think would help me out here.
