The last couple outings I have had brookie fishing I have lost numerous fish on dries after they go into a crazy flop on the surface upon setting the hook. I use barbless hooks and always try to keep a good amount of tension. For whatever reason these fish aren't trying to fight back under the water they just go nuts on the surface popping the hook out.
Is it just a lost cause when they decide to do this or is there something I could be doing wrong? Too much tension? Sometimes pulling the rod tip down gets them under the water and its business as usual.
Any advice much appreciated!
