WHEN THE STREAM GOT ROILY
By WILFORD R. LUTZ
I was talking to an angler this morning who read me a kink that he had some experience with in Maine. It was a day when the fish would not bite. He had tried everything in the line of flies from a Black Gnat to a Red Dragon, without much success. He was whipping a stream below some gentle rapids, when he accidentally caught sight of the finest school of trout that fisherman ever saw. He tried everything in the profession, but they would not bite.
Just at that time some cattle crossed the stream a little above him and roiled the water. He saw the roily water coming and thought the “stuff was off.” But exactly the opposite happened. As soon as the muddy water struck that pool, those trout seemed to have suddenly gone crazy. He changed from flies to a worm and in less time than it takes to tell he had landed six out of that school of beauties, from a half pound to one and a half pounds. He said that it was not very sportsmanlike, but he was out of meat.
