I fish plugs alot in Single barbless areas and the rule is wait!!!! till it barries the tip of the rod. The fish hit it and you wait till it turns or you could pull it out of its mouth. They hit Flys much the same way so if your above the fish, as with plugs, almost always the fish will hit it on the end of the swing and you should wait till it turns because the fish will turn the opposite direction of the initial pull before a good crossing of the eyes.


hope this helps...
