Attract The Trout

Attract The Trout Blog- Murray’s Fly Shop– Edinburg, Virginia

At this time of the year many trout feed on a broad variety of terrestrial insects. The trout quickly take grasshoppers, crickets, cicadas, beetles and many other insects. Frequently these land on the stream with a splash which prompts the trout to rush to them to eat them. I often mimic this splashy fly-landing presentation with my artificial flies to catch these trout. In order to achieve this, I impart a firm snap at the last second of my presentation cast.  A roll cast presentation can be used to present a splashy presentation very effectively where there are overhanging tree limbs
