OK, so, yesterday I resolved to throw 95% streamers on the EW. Certainly a good river for it and it is a big gap in my fishing repertoire. I had a pretty frustrating day of SEEING lots and lots of fish and converting about 5% to be hooked fish.
I rose a lot of fish... probably had 60 refusals. Now, when you are having a day like that is it just time to put the streamer down or is there a tweak? I didn't have a lot of streamers to choose from, but did I need a different bug? A different action? A whole different approach (nymphing instead of streamers)?
If you cast into a likely spot and get a swipe on the streamer, do you go back to that spot? What is your second cast?
I hooked what would have been my largest brown ever, I'm pretty sure. It would have at least equaled my 24" brown I got from Manzanita (about 9 years ago). Thing jumped twice before it spit... that's why you fish streamers I guess, and I'm trying to figure out if the frustration just comes with the territory or if there are adjustments I can make to improve the results.
