That's a good question. I would have to say.... I like it all!!! There is no one style once you learn all the ways to present nymphs, dries, streamers etc. To me, it's fun to figure out what the trout are doing at that given time. Always learning new things keeps me going back for more.

Right now, I'm really liking the drop shot technique I figured out over the last year.

Drop shot? Is that something you can tell us more about Jeremy?

I'll take the liberty of answering that question, because what I do may be different from Jeremy. It is basically putting your split shot below your fly to maintain a drift that is at the level you want. It works best out of a boat.

My technique doesn't require a split shot. Mine has to do with the fall of the fly.

I spend about 80% of the time using a nymph. Whether or not I use a indicator and split shot depends on the fish and water conditions. But I do love the dry fly. The good old wooly bugger catches alot of my fish also.

Jeremy, is that under an indicator?

Do you just weight your flies accordingly?

Yes on both. I weight all my flies. I don't like split shot, unless I don't have a choice and that's usually in high water.

Yup, one thing I never liked about split shot is that if you have split shot, two flies, and you indicator.... Thats alot of weight to be chuckin' 50-60 feet.

Makes me feel like I'm fishing for steelhead or somethin'

I'm a little confused here Jeremy, but that's somewhat normal for me. If I read your post correctly, you are floating a weighted fly under an indicator. Why do you call that "drop shoting"?

[Jeremy Hunt]

I'm going to keep this one under the hat.

I can tell you this, what I'm doing is something I haven't seen anyone doing in all my years fly fishing. It truly is something I think I stumbled on from trial and error. Some of my client's have tried it back at their home water and it works there to. I'm thinking about writing a book on this technique so I don't want to enclose to much information on this one.
