OK I have had abismal luck on small mt. streams. I know that some of you love them, so apparently I am missing something.
On my last venture I had a royal coachman with a bead head copper john dropper maybe 1 foot away. I focus on pools and avoid riffles and runs as they are usually only a few inches deep, and would expect that the fish would hold in the pools. I cover some ground as well. On most of these streams I don't even see fish, yet the websites say that they are there.
Look, I can catch educated trout so why are these dumb fish giving me the slip? Is it possible that these streams just stink?
