They say that to catch brown trout you have to be near invisible. I tried that on the Cimarron in 1999. It worked so well that a large brown bear never saw me as he snatched the fish from the end of my tippet.
Fishing too long a fly rod on a small trout stream is like driving a greyhound bus down a deer trail.
Fly fishing for trout is like raising children. You never know what's going to happen next.
The ability to read a trout stream is just as valuable to a fly fisherman as the ability to read a defense is to an NFL quarterback.
