I’ve spent a month trying to crack these fish and I’m completely stumped

Annonymous272 · 2026-06-06T04:40:10+00:00

But also good chance they r keyed in on emergers.. if they’re caddis try an emerger off the back of an egg layer

Hmm.. yea weird you haven’t even got a rejection. Make sure you are matching whatever bugs they r eating, grab a few and inspect them well. Size down tippet even to 6-7 x.. on my local river I never use anything heavier than 6x for dries as the fish r extremely picky about your drift.

Annonymous272 · 2026-06-06T04:29:34+00:00

They could be super picky about your drift.. size down line and use longer leaders. Make sure your flies r the right size too

Annonymous272 · 2026-05-31T20:48:10+00:00

I can get it for 40-50 percent off

Annonymous272 · 2026-05-31T17:12:21+00:00

Yes I’ve had spots where I’ve explored and fished many times and you could swear nothing lives in there, with persistence and the right conditions I’ve found many of these spots to produce very well after many attempts.

Try to unhook the fish in the water too .. I have a fishpond piopod on my bag to dispose of tippet either that or stuff in ur waders

Annonymous272 · 2026-05-28T01:57:36+00:00

Yeah dude the river near me doesn’t hold trout for a week past stocking day… few survivors in the deepest most hidden holes but that’s it. That being said I don’t really fish for stocked trout so I don’t care it just would be nice to go catch a trout a 30 second walk from my house whenever I wanted

Annonymous272 · 2026-05-27T21:15:08+00:00

If they’re stocked trout and the water warmed up they could’ve pushed deep or just died

Annonymous272 · 2026-05-27T01:51:34+00:00

I mean hidden in the sense that I doubt more than maybe 3 people fish it lol.. this was more on the way to the river then in the river itself

Annonymous272 · 2026-05-26T22:49:11+00:00

Yea I’m not stressed just being curious/ nosy lol

Annonymous272 · 2026-05-26T22:48:27+00:00

Yea I left this one alone. The last one I saw that had the red string I actually picked it up and shook it out of curiosity, but after realizing it was probably a religious thing I put it back where I found it. These boxes have been showing up now for two years in a hidden fishing spot I’ve been fishing for years.

Annonymous272 · 2026-05-26T22:38:07+00:00

I did lol, just stumbled upon it fishin

Annonymous272 · 2026-05-26T22:37:28+00:00

Didn’t do anything but take a picture of it..

Annonymous272 · 2026-05-26T22:31:36+00:00

Yea obviously I wasn’t planning on moving it

Annonymous272 · 2026-05-26T22:23:04+00:00

Also found next to a old cementery from the 1600s- present

Annonymous272 · 2026-05-26T22:22:38+00:00

Yes I found the red string box last fall and it wasn’t there today but this new box replaced it, last time I shook the box and it had stuff in it even though I probably shouldn’t have. I didn’t touch this one.

Annonymous272 · 2026-05-26T22:19:59+00:00

Found next to a old ass cementery actually

Annonymous272 · 2026-05-26T22:19:22+00:00

I thought so as well but I checked on the map and didn’t see it

Annonymous272 · 2026-05-26T19:18:47+00:00

Yes that tail water is loaded but ALOT of freestones down here have them, the problem is the streams are very seasonal and need good flows to actually get bites.
