What is the best tactic for slow moving water?
I was fishing First Fork last night at the long stretch of dead water in the Delayed Harvest section. There were literally hundreds of trout rising freely. The problem was that the water was moving so slowly that they had what seemed like an eternity to inspect my fly. I had some smacks and grabs but no hook ups. I tried subsurface a little bit too but suspect I was having the same problem because I had the same results. Are we suppose to avoid dead water all together or is there someway to fool the trout? Very frustrating! Any suggestions?

the trout were taking under the surface, you should have been using size 18-20 nymphs,emergers on a strike indicator, we were there the week after the 4th and hammered them on the disco midge and cdc emergers..forget about taking them on top..i caught 300 trout this year and only a handfull on dries.go under if you want to catch trout..
