Fish deeper holes where you can’t see them and add more split shot.
And drown your sorrows in a few Yuenglings or a couple of shots of bourbon.Head to the nearest bar.
Only if they are corn, or pellet, flies.Not that I want to recommend littering on purpose, but you can try dropping a fly upstream to see if anything tries it on without a leader tied to it. (I'm recalling a story from Marinaro's Modern Dry Fly Code when an unsuccessful fisherman spilled his fly box onto the water, only to see trout taking flies he had been trying with no success.) Would that be considered as chumming?
One can only be outsmarted by creatures with pea sized brains for so long.And drown your sorrows in a few Yuenglings or a couple of shots of bourbon.

Tightlining isn't as difficult as it may seem. If you've ever fished a jig-and-bobber that's pretty much exactly what you got.Fantastic info and just the kind of ideas I was looking for. I appreciate the detailed reply! Tightlining is definitely something I need to learn. I get it in theory, but don't quite get it, even after way too many hours listening to the Troutbitten podcast haha. But I'll get there eventually.
That's why I always coat my flies in WD40.(As with many things, the smells are what sells!)
