Had some mixed success fishing flies for springers with drift gear on the Sandy and the Clack (forgive the use of gear but I don't own a 10wt). My first trip the week before last I managed to hook 2 springers on drifted woolly buggers on the Sandy. Then last Thursday I went to the Clack because the Sandy was blown and drifted the same patterns all day but didn't hook a thing even though fish were present. So go figure, springers are finicky because I've caught them on the Clack with those flies before. Both hookups on the Sandy were on a dead drifted 1/0 peach bugger.

SilverFly, great to see you've hooked some springers on flies. Please let us know when you land one on a fly rod. I'm still trying this spring.
