After a few times out and getting skunked every time I went out I finally landed a nice brown trout on the Perky today. I was using a pheasant tail that I was dead drifting and bam got em! I had 2 almosts on a copper john, but they broke free while trying to get them in. I used a strike indicator like you guys had suggested and it worked quite well; I had lots of strikes. I just have to work on placement of the indicator and when they strike, getting the timing down. I think I tried to set the hook too early a couple times. I was using a olive bugger and I watched the fish go to it and just as it went to strike it, I went to set the hook and pulled it right out of his mouth.
How do you guys time it when they go to take it. Do you let the indicator bobble a bit then set the hook, or set it right as you see it bobble?
