If the fish is" fish enough", it puts itself on the reel. Otherwise it'll get stripped in unless I'm just bored and goofing around.

In my experience fish that are going to get on the reel do so with alarming speed LOL. In most cases, in my experience, they are on the reel before I realize they damned thing took the bait, let alone had a hook in it. There is a LOT going on between the time a fish takes a fly and is on the reel, 99.9% of that stuff is out of the fishermans control, which is a good thing because, in my case anyway, I am momentarily amazed something took the bait...in the split second it takes me to recover the fish is on the reel.
