New Fly Fisher: Stillwater Techniques

In this episode, they are fishing for brook trout in Fortress Lake, BC. They are demonstrating fly patterns for stillwaters with Phillip Rowley. They were using an indicator and a near static presentation. It looked almost like fishing with a bobber.

They were using small leech and scud patterns.

In 15' water use a 15' leader.

Fish are selective on their depth but opportunistic on what they will feed upon, so they'll eat what's best at their depth.

Hang a leech from a strike indicator and strip 6-12" at a time.
