{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Fringe trout behavior

Interesting post. I usually just fish a single fly so can't say I've had that happen, but I think Bob's answer makes the most sense.

For streamers, I think your hook up percentage goes way up if you are fishing low light conditions. Depending on the time of year and weather this period of good streamer bite can be from sunrise to as late as 8-10 am or starts between 15 minutes to an hour before sunset. Good fishing between those time frames only happens in high water in my experience.

Also depends on the species of trout. Larger wild browns and brookies seem to follow the above and rainbows never seem to be very good at eating streamers, you might get a few here and there but rainbows are notorious for swiping at streamers without actually finding the hook, especially fresh stockies. At least that has been my experience. YMMV
