Dealing with Jumping Trout
Probably the most heartrending situation with which the trout fly-fisherman is now and again confronted is when the trout are jumping continually, feeding upon some certain fly, or, it may be, in play. At such times the angler's desire to obtain a few "specimens" of the brook trout is greatly increased by the sight of the leaping fish, while at the same time, if he is an experienced angler, he is fully aware of the fact that no possible conditions could be more unpropitious for success. Very rarely it will happen that if the trout are rising to some natural fly the angler can make a killing by hitting upon the most approximate artificial. It seldom occurs. The right fly, somehow, is hardly ever in the fly-book. Here again the angler realizes his utter helplessness, and very acutely.
The whys and wherefores of the brook trout are innumerable and as unsolvable as numerous. To the sportsman they are a never-ending source of interest and of difficulty. The wise angler will thank Heaven each time he creels a trout—it may be the very last one.
