I fished the lower river today around Heise with FishingRookie and we had a really hard time catching anything. We both threw streamers most of the time. I had one hit but missed it. I'll blame the rising flows [cool]. My favorite time to fish it is also in the fall. I would also agree that rapalas will catch bigger fish on a more consistent basis than flies. What Rapala pattern do you like to throw? I used to fish the brown trout pattern quite a bit when I was a kid and always did well on it. I guess the closest thing to throwing rapalas on the fly rod is throwing big articulated streamers. You can hammer some huge fish with big streamers. Like said, big fish eat smaller fish!
