Mainly because I’m trying to learn it! Here’s my deal, I prefer the smaller mountain streams, but my fishing buddy doesn’t. He has taken me under his wing to try to teach me to fly fish...primarily using weighted nymphs. He prefers the larger, tailwater rivers, such as the Clinch and the Hiwassee. I can’t detect strikes! I’ve tried fishing a shorter, tighter line. I’ve also tried using an indicator. I’ve caught several fish, but I had no idea that they had hit. I almost feel that I caught the trout accidentally! I’ve watched him, and tried to copy him. He does not use an indicator, but has no problem feeling the strike. What am I missing?
