that obstructs the flow offers cover for a feeding fish and never should be passed by the fly fisher without a speculative cast or two.
Stretches where the water runs swift and smooth and almost wader-top high should be fished thoroughly by casting in all directions — the casts radiating from you like the spokes of a wheel from its hub, as suggested by Dr. Henshall. Don't neglect the water immediately above or below a rapid or at the foot of a " shoot "— where the stream narrows and speeds up. Beds of grass, isolated clumps of weeds, sharp turns or where another stream comes in are also likely places. Ordinarily it does not pay to spend much time casting over " deepish," still water. Where a sizable obstruction juts out into the stream look for a bass on the down stream side, just around the corner. Farther in, in the eddy, you will find our friend " Spots," the so-called " pickerel."
