Hi Cheekz, I would suggest that you have a floating line, and an intermediate line, to suit the rating on your fly rod. eg. 6/8# means in general a DT line size 6, and a WF line, in say 7 to 8. If the trout are on the surface, a floating line with a dry fly or buzzer would be the best bet. Depending on the depth of the water you are fishing, you can also reach a fair depth with the floating line, with a gold head damsel for example. This lure catches almost anywhere in the UK. Retrieve would be a slow figure of eight with short pulls and twitches to get the marabou working. You should of course add some variation to this. Simply count your fly down, eg, try at the count of five, for a good few casts, and if you do not touch a fish, keep on counting down until you reach the level the fish are at. I would stick to the floater to begin with, as these are easier to cast. When you are happy with your casting you can decide at the waters edge whether you should try an intermediate. This line will sink all the way to the bottom, whatever the depth, if it is given enough time. So if there are no fish showing, and you feel they are well down in the water, use your intermediate, and keep the count as before. If the trout are on the top, be brave and try a dry fly. Something that would imitate the colour and the size of the flies which are hatching, or just a general imitation. I would always try klinkhammers first, if there was not an obvious hatch like hawthorns, olives, etc. Cast to intercept moving fish, ie. if a fish is moving to the left of you cast a yard or two in front of the last place where it showed in the water. This can be very frustrating, as they very rarely follow a specific pattern, but it is fun to try and second guess them. Leave the fly sit for say 15 or 20 seconds, as, if it does not see and take it in that time, it has gone awol. You can of course allow the fly to swing round on the wind, this is effective as well. This is only a very rough guide, as experience will teach you almost all you will need to know, given enough time. It would take a book, or two to give all the answers, even if any of us new all the answers! If you fish this water often enough, you will become friendly with some of the other patrons, and therein lies the clues and info. on that particular water. Pick their brains, you will be surprised what you will learn, and how fast it will sink in. Tight lines, and keep on fishin'
