Finding Out the Truth

Well no one is really going to fess up? So the lying continues, let's just stick to fishing and tying some great flies. My favorite (now) is the english pheasant tail, real simple and fished correctly (depth and drift) is a fish catcher. Trout are basically lazy, they are not going to look up or down unless something looks like food. Caddis larvae, nymphs and other bugs are usually  bland small creatures. some swim, some tumble with the current and some cling until they are ready to hatch. Check the water, what do you see? nothing? Then you don't know what you're looking for. Take the time to look under rocks, check your boots after fishing for clues to type, size and color. Spot where the fish are, are they active or passive. Learn patience, then be patient!
