I knew this title would draw you in.
As I said on another forum where this was first posted...
I love Vimeo productions when internet is fast enough to load it properly. That doesn't always happen in Thailand.
I watched exactly the same thing in a shallow bay on a small, New Zealand lake while fishing with my friend. The trout would only take the flying dragonflies and nothing that landed on the surface. Finally, out of frustration I suggested that Larry and I tie our lines together and tight-line them across the little bay, with one of my realistic patterns dangling off a short leader. It took a while, but eventually the trout jumped up and grabbed the fly. Larry and I were laughing so hard we almost lost the fish. I have a picture of that Brown, but I sure wish I had a video. With today's multi use cameras I would have.
Thia is a photo of the fish, but not the one with our lines tied together. I had to let out line while Larry reeled it in.
