I lose flies on the water big and small when the glare is in the wrong place, which always seems to be the case when i'm fishing dries. My biggest problem not seeing the fly is not detecting strikes, its detecting drag. If I cant see the fly I don't know it its acting like a wake boat. I usually go with a big stimulator and then my target pattern 16 inches off the bend, but sometimes that can create unwanted action in the dropper fly.
You can't buy happiness, but you can buy new fly fishing gear and that usually does the trick.
