Pateince and persistence is the key. We changed flies multiple times and finally got success; however, changing depth is also a tool. Pre-rigging line and keeping them saved on yard sticks is brilliant. Playing a fish is one of the greatest pleasures in life. Keep the rod "candy caned," ensure constant "candy cane" pressure by stripping in line and raising the rod, try to get the fish on the reel when possible.
