Based on recs from all y'all I long ago abandoned the hook set with a rod lift. Seems like the practice of strip setting puts your fly in play longer than a hook set with a rod lift, which may jerk the fly 9-10 feet away from feeding fish. Given when you're in a boat or yak fishing you can often see two or more fish following along the hooked fish, lurking for scraps, which brings up a matter of technique- if you miss the strike, or lose your fish, what is your standard response?
