@Rocky998 You might be interested to know about these fish. I caught most of them in a big hole where a tiny creek emptied into a big lake. The water was moving, which makes presentation a lot easier, but it was really easy to see the fish rise to the fly. Best of both worlds!
But here's the funny part. I was using a hopper pattern. The fish were acting well-fed and kind of bored. They'd come up and bump my hopper with their noses but not take it, just like spoiled aquarium fish checking out a new food source. So I started hitting it into the water really hard, SMACK!, then twitching it back upstream like a streamer. A hopper swimming against the current, under water. Yeah, it didn't look like anything in nature.
Did the trick, though. Guess it triggered the predatory instinct. They'd see that bug getting away and just couldn't stand it. By about the third twitch they'd be fighting each other for it. Caught probably ten of them that way. Let a bunch of them go; just kept the legal limit for supper. They weren't slowing down, but I decided not to educate them all, so I can bring the Badgerling back there later. So much fun!
