| Aaaarrgghhhh!!!! Fairly new to fly fishing and went to my local Trout lake on Saturday. Lost 2 good fish (one bit me off when fishing a lure - Pike maybe?) Then had THIRTEEN follow-ins!!! You know what it's like, you get to the last few yards of water and you see a fish following your lure, so you speed up a bit to induce a take but then run out of water 'cos the rod's gone past your shoulder. Then the fly stops and the fish turns away.....Aaaarrgghhhh!  Is there anything else I can do? Any tips or tricks you've found successful to induce a take on a follow-in?      |

| Re: Aaaarrgghhhh!!!! yes leave it on the dangle as you do when fishing in a boat, you will be surprised how they like it stopped like this. __________________ http://flyfishingcornwall.webeden.co.uk/ http://fishinghideawayeire.webeden.co.uk/ |

| Re: Aaaarrgghhhh!!!! try a lure with a hot head, preferably red. __________________ What a tourist terms a plague of insects, the fly fisher calls a great hatch. |
