You mentioned harvesting rainbow trout with "seines".

I appreciate you meant seine nets, but I was following the fly fishing thread, hence my question, "dry or slow sinking?"

It wasn,t very funny the first time.

There is even less humour when it has to be explained.

I thought it was an inside joke about telegraphing or fishing with explosives.

I get it now!!!

It went completely over my head.
When I fly fish I use a tapered floating line only.

Occasionly a muddler or clausser style fly but usually a popping bug of some sort.

This is how I catch cold weather bass. I use a trickworm on a 4/0 hook with no weight. Throw it out and let it sit for up to 3 minutes or so. Then just barely drag it about 1-2 foot and let it sit another 2-3 minutes. I am no Roland Martin but I catch bass and thats how I catch em. Tequila Sunrise for dark water, Green Pumpkinseed for clearer water. I always believed that if the fish are lethargic so is the food. Drop shot is a good technique but I typically use it in deep water. Tie the hook off the weight so it is just above the bottom cover.
