A good point was brought up of them being able to see you. You can try to sneak up on them now that you know where they have been holding.
I've learned a lot from fly fishing for trout, and grew up learning on a crystal clear river where you can see every fish you target. At first things were tough, but after a while I had it down to where if I could see a fish I could catch them, no matter how hard they have been pressured. I would fish small nymphs size 20-16 without an indicator with very light tippet. The water was clear enough to actually see the nymph drift in the water. At times it would be best to purposely get the nymph stuck on the bottom in front of the trout, and then suddenly lift it off the bottom like it were being washed away or ready to hatch. Since the trout were given a split second to make up their minds they almost always fell for this technique. With the fly rod if you get a perfect drift and presentation more often than not they will hit the fly if it is something they would realistically be feeding on. Its amazing to see how fast the fish can eat the fly then spit it out right before your eyes.
