You only have a couple of hours before dark, it's breezy and cool, and the fish are hiding; but you work the shoreline with a muddler and coax two to come and get it, including the first Brown of the year.
I fish them without a dropper. I tie them to float, and grease them up good. I want them to float when they land, and I usually let them sit for a moment before the strip. After one or two fish they will still float after the cast but will sink a bit on the strip. I find that usually makes no difference. Take some time to find out what the fish in your lake like. Good luck.

ReplyDeleteDo you Gink your muddlers, or let them sink when they get a little wet? Do you fish them on their own or on a dropper with a fly on the point?
I'm looking to try them on my big lake very soon.
Regards.
