Re: [VFB] QFTD
And you may catch fish after fish on only one pattern one night (after trying lots of patterns), and then go home, stay up late tying a dozen more to fish the next night- only to have them not even touch the same exact fly the next night- same time, same location, same presentation. It was a tiny yellow/orange streamer, fishing large male ‘bows (2-5lbs) hanging out at the launch area. Caught 10 at least the 1st night, fly fell apart. The next night, they wanted a peacock renegade with green wire, not gold wire, or red wire, or... just green wire. Like you said, fish can be picky beyond selective.

Tye one on and smash the fish one after another. Break off and tye on another one and the fish will not touch it. Try another and you start catching fish again. Also you might be catching fish on a fly in the morning and then you go out in the evening and they will not touch it. Tony On Wednesday, November 4, 2015 9:11 AM, Jack Harford wrote: Excellent Points Don!! Sometimes I think that with all the reasons why the fish don't bite it is a wonder that any fish at all catch our flies. And your points reinforce the premise that fish have certain instinctual traits built into their character and behavior that effect how, when, and how much they feed. Here is Indiana, maybe about 90% of my fishing is done between 7pm and too dark to see the fly. Partially because of my job, but mostly because of the experience of landing about 80% of the fish during that time. It is also nice that there is a nice smallmouth bass creek two blocks from the home. Mornings are good too, but I am not much of a morning person :) But again, like Don was saying, each species and even each fish is different so the knowledge base is almost infinite. That may be one of the attractions of this sport. There is always something more to learn. The possibility of a fish catching the fly increases with the number of casts, time on the water, attention to detail, and amount learned while out there (and in the library too). tight lines, Jack On Tue, Nov 3, 2015 at 2:01 PM, Don Ordes wrote: Nice article, but there are more than 3 or 4 things that affect fish, i.e. what matters to them. Not all fish behave the same way, but all need the 3 mentioned necessities to some degree, so I agree to a big extent. Other factors that affect whether a fish will feed or not: -Weather- barometric readings affect fish and feeding. -Lunar cycles- the moon’s cycles affect fish, therefore, -Day vs night activity, or light sensitivity, or night-time sleep cycles, or feeding on a full moon and not at all the day after. -Fishing pressure – related to shelter as to security, but different, especially if the fish are caught and released. They may think the fly is food, but that leader tells them not to catch it. -Water conditions- pollution, run-offs (muddy), water too warm or too cold or changing rapidly. -Saltwater estuaries- tide is not right, waiting for the tide (no source of nourishment until the tide brings din-din to them) -Deep sea fish- feed is just off, not in mood to eat. Live bait doesn’t matter, even boinking them on the nose with it. (Time to find something in the cooler to wait it out or head back in.) Another good discussion. Anybody want to add anything?
