I am a strictly weekends (with few exceptions), for similar reasons as steelie (I say similar, as I am on the other side of the desk from him). And the longest I have gone without a fish is over a year (my last steelhead landed was last February), and RB, I know what I am doing wrong. I fish flies only and while I have learned ways to fish more than the traditional "fly water" I am still unable to fish certain prime holding water effectively and I often pass well known spots over due to the desire for more open runs to cast. Still, despite the occasional hook up this year, I have been disappointed with my success rate as I have fished runs that I am certain have fish in them without getting a take. I also know other fly fishers who have had more success than I (although they are also getting out more often as well) using the same patterns and lines and even fishing the same areas. Getting that one bite though, that quick head shake, that snapped leader, is still enough to keep me happy and searching out those secluded waters to swing a fly.
