    Tried a few cicada patterns in the creek here. Even the most delicate presentation had the trout freaking out.
    Upper Mohaka is a totally different story with fish climbing over each other in places to get them.
    The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds

    Always check the knot after a fight,this is only the second time that a snap lock has broken on me.

    I know you have tremendous success with your method DD but I often wonder if it would be even more if that snap swivel was not connected to the lure and the lure was tied on?

    I have tried both methods gibo. But when things aren't biting I change my lure regularly and that is the quickest method.Also coming into dark retying is a bit of a mission with a bung eye.
