No, I'm not talking about how your immediate family won't talk to you anymore because you're a self-trained economist with an expertise in oil prices. I'm talking about fish that clearly say "hell no" to what you're offering.
In the past two years, I've been noting rejections prominently on big foam bugs. A fish will fly out of its lie enthusiastic as hell but come to a dead stop and double back with its mouth having been just millimeters from the hopper/ant/etc. I lay awake at night replaying the scene.
Anyone else experience a pattern like this?? Or maybe I just notice it more for some reason when I'm watching a large fly? I imagine my drifts are just as bad as with any other dry, so my instinct is that's not it.
