    Peter....
     
    Very good trick.  That DOES often work......but it's not the one I have in mind.
     
    Rain stopped here on the North Fork.....but winds with 45 MPH gusts predicted.

    Hi, Group.....
     
    We were hosting an excellent trout fisherman who learned a good strip strike with which to hook tarpon.  Problem was that every time a fish took his fly, he reverted in line with his instincts and raised the rod sharply as though hooking a trout.......He lost every one.
     
    Then I figured out a way of breaking this habit, which worked fine.
     
    What do you suppose I did ?
