It's a numbers game. In a pod of 100 quilback, one or two will eat a dead drifted fly. Midges, wet flies, and carp flies have worked. Sometimes nothing will work. If you have a chance to observe a pod of quilback, you'll see the occasional flash of silver as a fish turns to eat something in the water column. They'll eat, but picky eaters indeed.
big trout and big quillback
ReplyDeletelook at your little guy double handing that fish!
Takes some guts to show that shot of me dominating you at tether ball;)
ReplyDeleteI just don't understand how anybody can get a quillback to eat...
