It is more than the flys
I love to fish moving water, not so much lakes or ponds. I fish dry flies and the odd wet fly and rarely a nymph. Which is too bad because the nymph fellows catch the most fish but I'm trying to learn how to fish them as an old man! Get some advice here on how to fish the various options that you have been given.
My grandfather would tell you in a river or stream presentation is everything, he was right, the fish have to make a decision very quickly and if it looks like food they will strike. The nymph strikes are very subtle, and the boys that know how to use indicators can be of great help.
It is not about how far you can cast, how much your equipment costs, or how good your flys are. Keep the line in the water and make that fly look real! The rest is easy. Have fun.
