Pool Fishing in the Summer Requires Distance
In summer, during the day, pool fishing is very apt to be productive. Then the trout haunt the deep, dark pools, well shaded, or the reaches of equally peaceful and shady still-waters. To fish such a place with success demands every bit of skill even the bummer veteran fly-caster can command; to the "'beginner such places are sloughs of despond rather than likely trout pools. On still days the surface of the pool, unruffled by any breeze, is so smooth and quiet that the disturbance of a natural insect falling upon it is very appreciable; when the ambitious but unskilled fly-caster drops his cast of flies thereon the result is simply a tidal wave.
It is small wonder that the average angler passes up the quiet pools and still-waters as unproductive—they are so except to the man who through years of stream experience and by virtue of superior casting and tackle can really fish fine and far-off. For such a man the pools and still-waters hold prizes well worth the utmost exercise of his skill, for of all stream localities it is well known that the deep pool and the dark still-water are most apt to shelter Leviathan. Small flies, light leaders, and long, light casting are the requisites for summer pool fishing. There is one thing more: Keep out of sight. Pool fishing in general and the use of dry-flies in connection therewith have been discussed elsewhere.
