Eleven Point And Dry Fly Fishing

[MaxDrown]

Is it totally impossible to fish successfully for trout with dry flies on the Eleven Point River? Has anyone ever had any success fishing dries down there?

It can be done, but it is not normally productive. You rarely if ever see fish keying in on a specific hatch. You will see an occasional trout rise, often to a caddis. In sept in the evening if the hatch is big enough and the water clear enough, you can catch a few on hexes. You will catch tons more fish sub-surface though. You can easily go fishless even when fishing is good if you insist on fishing dries only though. There is too much food on the bottom there.
