Just when I thought I figured them out the conditions change over night. The water levels came up, got cloudy and algae rolled in. Yesterday I caught one here with a pop up on a hair rig with split shot. Today they showed several times over my baiting area but no takes. I did have several "liners". The fish were visibly feeding on the green stuff on the surface. Lots of feeding off the surface, fizzing, bubbling, rolling and jumping. They were having a party all around me and I caught nothing. I tried pop up without split shot but my leader is to heavy and it sinks. Is this a bread situation ? I'd like to keep something in my tackle for surface fishing or try to match the green hatch? I do have zig rigs I could try?
