Fished the North Umpqua again over the long weekend. Hooked? 7 and everyone of them came un pinned withing seconds.
As this is a fly fishing only river you've got to use unbarbed hooks; to get weight to get them down to the fish's level this tends to require larger/heaver hooks.
The third thing I remember reading in the dim past is 'some ties' will have a tendency to ride 'flat' to the river bottom rather than hook point up/down. What may cause this? Ask as I think this may really be the problem over the past few days of SHEESH!!!!
