Having several different patterns and presentations available can make the difference between getting occasional looks and getting the fish to commit. While dry fly fishing gets much of the attention during Drake season, fishing beneath the surface is sometimes the most productive approach.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCapt.
