New to fly fishing as a whole and seeking advice.

...What would be the easiest way to tell if a section holds little to no fish?...

Fish the crap out of it...

If you catch nothing the first rule is; blame poachers, conditions, spin fishermen, the PFBC for not putting enough fish in the creek, the recent stream improvements but NEVER blame yourself 'cause you'll get discouraged.

The bottom line is there ARE fish in that section, just look for the deepest parts and cover because that's where the fish will be hanging out. Fish slowly & methodically so you don't want to miss a potential holding spot.

Bottom line, just have at it and have fun while you learn.

Good luck!!

I appreciate the motivation. I will try the zebra midge within the next few days. Plan on throwin it in the deep parts of this section. Tight lines!
