Leader length? Tippet size? When the weather gets bright I have seen a massive amount of difference in the success of 7X vs 6X vs 5X. I would get no bites on 5, maybe 3 bites an hour on 6, and a bite...

The fish at the dam can be tricky, and any variation in a midge is making a huge difference right now. Use a long leader with a white indicator. Some sort of attractor above your fly has been working...

Re: What am I missing?

Thanks for all the info. Looks like I may try some 7x and some smaller nonbh midges. It's become almost a challenge now, as I think John and I are talking about the same hole. I have caught several...
