Below is a brief description of Ed's presentation:
CATCHING DIFFICULT TROUT
This program is full of new ideas for catching those trout that leave most fly fishers scratching their heads. These could the ultra selective, highly educated fish found in heavily fished public waters or they could be the trout in your favorite stream that just happen to have an "attitude" on a particular afternoon. The program explains the importance of your approach and casting position, slack line casts, the use of small flies, using spent spinners as attractors, terrestrials as attractors, how to match the riseform and the hatch, and fishing the zones where trout are feeding. In addition, the program covers crucial equipment checks that will help you land difficult-to-catch trout once you do hook them.
Thanks in advance,
Jay
