  You approach your favorite water to fish, what do you tie on? We all tie one on! Here is my tip. When I walk up to the stream I am going to fish, I look for cob webs, spider webs and take a look at what might have been caught in the webs. What do look for, tips.

  Bob,
  
  I am 11 weeks post operation for a grade 3 shoulder separation. The surgeon told me 16 weeks minimum healing process. I have been doing passive PT for the last three weeks. That means no weights, just stretching and some elastic cords. I have been allowed to drive short distances. Bored to death, have not had any summer. I did tie a couple of Hares Ear flies yesterday. I see the doctor next week, hopefully PT with weights will start soon. Thanks for asking.

  Tips: I approach my favorite water or water that I have never fished the same.
  
  Before going I check trip reports or talk to a fly shop for the area. I’ll check the flow rate and water levels to make sure I can successfully fish the area. I’ll look at the hatch charts for the area and time of year.
  
  Approaching the water I check the bugs in the air and under rocks, spider webs is GREAT idea. I’ll check for rises and the type of rise. I’ll observe before prancing into the water and look for fish. I’ll look for riffles, runs and pools to see if there is any activity there. If I see fish I ask myself are they feeding (look for side to side movement or the white of their mouths).
  
  Then I’ll decide on how to fish (dry fly, swing, dead drifting, high stick or Euro nymph).
