I got most of my bites running my jig by those but they just nipped it I never got the reaction I would get with a j13,I had people tell me to bring polarized glasses but I never notice a diffrence with them and the fish I would see proabbly wouldn't bite

Polarized sunglasses are definitely worth the investment. Just make sure they are polarized and you can see easily 4 times better into the water.

[DILLIGAF?!]

If you can see them.
They can see you.
Glasses are for eye protection.
Your best odds are fish discoloured waters.

yes but if a steel slowly approaches your fly and a sudden twitch can either spook them or make them take the fly...then you can make some adjustments as to where you can cast how far and how long it would reach the strike zone. I was dead set on dry flying 2 weeks ago but seeing resis feeding on something subsurface easily changed my approach and got some nymphing action.

I agree with Dill! I went fly fishing for the first time and a lot of my hook sets were when I saw the fish start head shaking - nothing noticed on my line or anything else, just violent underwater headshakes. I tightened up my line to see my little fly in the back of its throat.

 

Its important to know where your fishing, so seeing the terrain (rocks, logs, etc) not just fish plays a huge part in how you setup your rig.

Considering polarized glasses can be had pretty cheap, there's no reason not to have a pair.

[PUMP KNOWS]

Where's the rain?

[chinook2835]

For fly guys good glasses a given.
Even for simply eliminating the glare when drifting your dries.
I'm assuming chinook2835 just drifting a float.

Usually I'd float fish but since it's been so dang hot and dry this week I'm gonna go with a white twister tail or a j13 depending if I can deep enough water to cast it,just try and piss them off in the deep holes,I'm assuming there's only gonna be a few left that came in from last week during the cool weather,hopefully it won't be impossible

[chinook2835]

I've really never had luck with polarized glasses but maybe I'm just being to cheap when buying them;)

[fishfreek]

Just go young fella, you don't always need glasses to see them.

Nothing better then seeing salmon cruising the shore,seen one last week now all I want to do is catch one.Now is the only time I'll complain about hot weather

[DILLIGAF?!]

#3 Black Fury on that pool.

[chinook2835]

anyone know a trust worthy drift fishing rod? Lost 2 today I think it was my gear that flawed(and maybe me;)) and my rod is 6'6 so it's way to short?

Also why isn't there any MNR officers there,guys that were fishing next to me were flossing all day though they broke off on about 9 fish

[Huronfly]

Maybe you should have called them. They don't have drones telling them where all the snaggers are...

yes, sometimes they will grab on and shake the crap out of it, but if the current is fast enough, or the fish holds on long enough, you will see your fly line start to curl back, as if it were snagged up on bottom.  in clear water, no really an issue, since you can the strike, but when you can't, like when the water is dirtied up a bit, you really have to focus on the very tip of you fly line, if it drags, curls, or sinks in an unusual way, tighten up and pop the hook

I would've if my phone wasn't about to die but can I call for someone flossing?
