What can I say? It's cold and the fish are sluggish. Forget about fly fishing. If you hit the fish on the nose with a nymph, you may get a reaction strike. With the snow melt and the much colder water temps in our local limestoners, their metabolisms are quite slow as they usually are this time of year. Most give up fishing this month, some go ice fishing... and then there's me.  I have yet to be completely skunked when pinning for trout.
Today was a close call with one actual landing. Nice 14-15" wild brown. A few rollovers and missed strikes but still only one successful catch.
