Sage Words from the Icons #16

"Trout are not smart; they are instinctive. They know that their food is a certain size, shape and color, and most importantly, that it travels at the same speed as the current. Anglers who stray from that basic formula have extreme difficulty catching trout."

JOHN  GIERACH 

Book: All Anglers Lie...Chapter 4, Fly Fishing Tailwaters...page 30

  1. One of my mentoring fly angler buddies, David Foster is fond of saying: If it looks like food & acts like food...the trout will eat it".
