Watch for Trout Parts

If you’re scouting your favorite stream or creek and are looking for holding trout, it is sometimes difficult to pick out a whole fish sitting there waiting for your presentation unless the water is calm and flat and has spring creek clarity. This is because trout are masters of camouflage. Instead, look for “trout parts” of the whole fish, the movement of a fin, the gentle waggle of a tail, the quick flash of a silver belly or, more even more exciting the white opening and closing of the opening and closing of the mouth of a trout taking nymphs.

If you find this kind of this useful, you can pick up your copy of The Little Red Book of Fly Fishing at www.Amazon.com
