What would you use? Describe the set up.
Explain your rational on how you plan on hitting the hole.
Browns and brookies and maybe a wayward TIGER present.
Wisconsin in the middle of May. No obvious hatches.
This was his first cast in the hole.
The angler caught four trout in this hole.
Right side of hole is shallow and silted in.
The current shows you where the holes would be.
Well, Len, in my opinion this is the classical case for nymph-fishing in the Leisenring-lift-technique.
Depending on the depth of the pool, I would either use an intermediate or a quickly sinking leader with an almost 70cm long 4X oder 5X fluorocarbon tippet.
The nymph-pattern I would use depends on the entomolgy of that creek.
Almost any classical heavy nymph-pattern could fit.
Perhaps I would take a pheasant tail or a peeping caddis or a gammarus-imitation.
I would cast very close towards the steep shore-nose in the middle left side of the photo, let the nymph sink and drift around, follow it with the rod-tip til the rod points
at the almost right angle towards the shore, then stop the drift and strip in.
I would do this several times, in different distances to the shore-line and in different drift depths.
