KJFN: I nailed a few Cutts on flies right at the shore line and primarily in the evening. One within 3-6 inches of the shore. I think they would have come up on the land after the fly. So you can work right up to the edge and many strikes were in 2-4 feet of water. You miss many of them because it is so unexpected. They come in apparently for minnows in the morning and evening. On my 5 weight they were awesome. Some boats do troll flies behind the clear torpedo shapped bobbers. Casting out this way did not produce any strikes for me. Attached is a shot of my grandson trying to get that one fish up on the shore and our camp. It about tore up his light rig but he finally just backed up and dragged it up with him.
