How Trout See Your Flies & What To Do About It | Ep. 111

How Trout See Your Flies & What To Do About It | Ep. 111

Have you ever wondered WHY a fish rejects your fly? Well, we know that presentation matters, but is there something about the fly itself that makes a trout decide to eat - or reject it entirely?

Well, you can find some answers to those questions when you look at exactly how trout see your flies. Their vision is great, but not without its faults. Understanding how trout view the world will give you more tools with which you can better fool fish. In this episode of Untangled, Spencer Durrant walks you through the science behind how fish see your flies, what actually triggers them to eat, AND how this information can directly put more fish in your net.

You'll also learn about:

  • How cold is too cold for fly fishing
  • Do trout flies work everywhere, or are some patterns specific to certain regions?
  • What a nymph is, and what it imitates
