A Good Book!

[Stew]

I recently bought a book titled "Understanding Trout Behavior" and I recommend it for anyone wanting to try to understand why trout act the way they do.Lots of good info on how light refraction plays a major part in how a fish behaves.
Here are a few highlights
...fish can see contrasting patterns and shapes with exceptional clarity
...the apex of a trouts cone of vision gets larger the deeper the fish is in a hole.
...a fly rod cast side arm instead of overhead will reflect less light and not spook fish as much.
...a greased (with floatant) leader will appear much thicker when viewed from under the water.
Anyway if you get the chance to take a look at this book I think you find it helpful in your fishing.

Stew,

My 15 year old son "little hunter" read this post and begged for the book. Whatever makes a kid want to read is good enough for me. :applause: We bought the book and will be waiting for his reports. I recently bought him a decent fly rod, reel, line and fly tying material. He is turning into an avid fly fisherman (he ties some pretty nice flies). I am a baitcaster and troller but hope to keep him excited about flycasting. Last summer while I was trolling for salmon out of newport, he put out his fly line (he didn't want to use my tackle) and caught a coho before I did.
:shocked:
Thanks for the post

Thanks for letting me know that seabass. I hope he can put the information he gets from that book to good use.
