I fished the Moke last weekend and got skunked! I guess it happens. Any advise for this angler? I fished out of the fish hatchery park. Flows seemed good and I saw some bait casters (spinners) catching fish but no luck on the fly rod. I was nymphing with 5x. I used San Juan worms, soft hackles, green caddis...nearly my whole fly box but no grabs. Usually I can get some fish and grabs. Wow! Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Cut off the fly and tie on a spinner. You can strip-cast it on a fly rod.... Better than watchin' everyone around catching fish while you're not.... :cool:

Feel your pain.. was up there two weeks ago and got skunked on the upper off electra road. Will try again this weekend on the lower off comanche. Any tips for us anglers? News on whats biting?

I was there Wednesday below the dam and got skunked, too. I saw fish rising but couldn't get any takes. Tried everything.

Try a small black ant pattern or caddis.... 18ish
Swing a wolley bugger too
