Barry, I honestly don't know why I catch so many fish, it's just been that way as long as I can remember, in freshwater and saltwater. Some people have natural talents and I guess I have a talent for fishing. But I've done nothing to develop it except time on the water over the years.

One thing I do that is different from many is that I fish flies slowly, and it is rare that I fish them fast. The only times I strip in flies fast is when I fish for stripers certain times of the year and when I use popping bugs for largemouth bass. I also fish areas rather thoroughly, as opposed to moving from one place to another quickly (in a float tube you HAVE to fish slowly )

Several years ago I wrote a couple of articles to help others catch more fish, they are posted on this forum:
