I finally managed to get a couple fish swinging a marabou tube fly on Monday in one of the Ontario rivers near me (temps finally warmed up -- try +36 C with the humidex in Toronto on Tuesday) and was looking forward to heading out this evening, only to find that I had more radiator fluid on the driveway than in the radiator! The river is in perfect shape today too, but oh well.
Anyway on to my question, Do you guys stick to a certain piece of water and fish it hard, with different flies and different tips or no tips, or do you prefer to put your fly through as much water as is possible during the day?
The reason that I ask is that many of the rivers around me have only a handful of pools or runs that set up to fish a swinging fly with, and the majority are short, fast, deep, inside edges that are next to impossible to swing a fly through under any kind of control or near enough to the bottom. So am I wasting my time fishing over fish that don't want to bite or aren't there when I should be studying, or does persistence pay off??
Thanks for the input in advance,
Mike
