When your fishing a fly that has a circle hook do you fish it any diffrently? I'd think that instead of setting the hook with the rod, you just let the fish run and set the hook on itself. (Just like when using spinning)
Have you been gut-hooking alot of fish on the fly? I've found that with a fly, I almost always hook 'em in the mouth.
