At the risk of being viewed as a "pain in the fin"...If folks agree.....there are 2 other opportunities to add the the "Best Advice Received" Members' Contribution/Activity.
So far we have quite a collection of members' advice/advice received, observations, hypotheses and acquired knowledge based on experience.
Speaking for myself and given the feedback posted....we have an opportunity to have a good document for members review and share, as well as newbies.
If the timing is not right and or folks are sick of this (I will not take it personally) ...I totally understand.
If interested (now or after the season)....I have 2 possible additions to what we have so far:
1. Beach and or Surf Fishing (please refer to that thread)
and
2. This thread- Presentations and Retrieves
Suggest that we leave this wide open to obtain maximum contributions from members. I can sort it all out later when summarizing the contributions. Re "summarizing" I will not use " " in the future if it Ok with everyone...as I am not mentioning the name of the person and it is hard to remember to do it. If you want it kept, I will. There are a few contributions on the other thread that I will move to this sub-topic as they will now fit better in this section.
Some possibles include, but not limited to:
- special situations (like Jon C's recent post on "fast moving fish and ripping the retrieve"
- various retrieves and why/ what you have found helpful and when
- what works for you/when
- fishing crabs/shrimp patterns etc
- presentations etc for current/rips/bars...whatever
- -fishing flies like flatwings or other flies requiring a particular retrieve/presentation etc
- placement of fly on sighted fish (flats)
-whatever comes to mind on this topic that you feel will be helpful to others
In addition to Jon C's above special situation, I will start it off with one:
- special situation....when a fish has passed you for whatever reason and it's back is to you....cast at least 10ft ahead of the fish and about 4 ft to either side (ie striper cone vision) and rip fly once....can result in a 'reaction strike".
This has worked only 2 times in 9 yrs...but better than no times
