Ogden Kicked My Butt

[katghoti]

Went to the Ogden Friday to try my hand at the fish. I could see them everywhere and my blood was boiling. I threw just about everything I had at them and nothing. BHFT, RS2, Prince, Elk Hair Caddis, PMD, Hoppers, etc. Nothing. The fly went right past without a look. Anyone have any suggestions?

You didn't throw some "meat"? Streamers always catch fish. Better luck next time.

Try a drag free drift.

Seriously, if you aren't catching them on those bugs then I would suggest re-evaluating your presentation. This time of year you should be hooking into them left and right. If you are using a strike indicator, throw it away. Use a dry fly to match the hatch or an attractor as the indicator. This way you've doubled up, using a fly up top and then a dropper below it.

Make yourself indivisible also, make sure those fish never see you. Wear clothing to match the natural surrounding, move one slow step at a time, and if need be get down on your hands and knees (sneak up on those suckers).
