It happens on the Trinity in October before the first big rain washes them downstream big time. If you fish adjacent to the shallow slack water, especially near the bank, your fly will be bitten to death. Fish deeper and/or heavier current and you won't ever hook one. If you're swining, don't let your line dangle at the end of the drift and you should avoid them altogether. After the first big rain, let it dangle... that's where the biguns 'll be! Just my experience. Other's may vary.
fly: Very light artificial fly fishing lure of which there are two types: the dry fly which isn't supposed to sink the way it just did; and the wet fly, which shouldn't be floating up on the surface like that. An Angler's Dictionary.
