There's the answer right there,they don't "swallow" the fly,it's more a case of what I'd call a quick nibble/taste,hardly a swallow. (Korrie sit downOriginally Posted by bekkerian
)It is in that period where you will strike and loose many fish. On the other hand,when you give the fish some rope i.e. time and it did take a fly tied on a circle you will almost never loose a fish.
Did you spot another problem in the previous sentence?How do you know which hook was taken? If you fish 3 flies at a time it could be rather difficult to gauge which fly was chowd.
My advice would be to tie some flies in sizes 1,2,4,6,8,10,12 and possibly 14 and see for yourself.Experiment with circles and establish a reference.
If and when you toss them don't go any further than a Daiichi 1120 Scud hook.The hook is already off set for your convenience.(1xs and 2x heavy)The perfect hook for Caddis,Mayflies,etc.
Cheers
