In Stillwater Basics Fly Fishing we talk about the essentials of catching trout on lakes and ponds. Noted stillwater angler & author Phil Rowley hosts this fascinating episode in which he gives a comprehensive guide. Not all lakes are equal, one's that have shallow areas tend to be richer in a diverse range of foodstuff, enabling trout to grow to huge sizes, so choosing the right lake is most important. Once there, he explains how to use water temperature and visible or sunken features to locate the fish. That you must observe what they are eating and try to match it. Select the right rod and make sure that it is matched to your line, whether that is floating, intermediate or sinking and then that retrieving at the right pace with the right pattern is probably the most important thing when the water isn't moving.
