I finned very very slowly dragging my midges and casting and retrieving my balanced leech slowly. Usually I cast with an intermediate line pulling a nymph. ItÂ’s fun to try new ways to catch fish. I was delighted with the results. I landed ten missed 5. I caught 2 trout, 5 bass, 2 crappie and one redear or blue gill not sure. One of the two trout was good sized and one bass as well, both close to two pounds. The midge caught four and balanced leech 6. Gotta say the fishing was great but the catching was the bomb!!!
