Introduction:

Fishing is a great past time and like many people, under the right circumstances, one can become sort of addicted to it. I have caught a lot of different species of fish through the years. I have caught other things as well when fishing, some by accident, like seagulls, ducks, turtles, crayfish, frogs, eels, pinks, Skamania, and I even caught a couple of fish that I had no idea what they were? And neither did the Ministry of Natural Resources know what species of fish they were? And like the partial quote in the Clint Eastwood movie, Unforgiven, I have caught pretty much anything that has walked or crawled, or swam or flew at one time or another throughout my years of fishing. And I even caught a parrot while out fishing but more on that later. Very few fisherman can boast that fact. In fact, probably no one else on the planet can claim that one.

Back to some real fishing. First, this book is not for the beginner trout fisherman so much. I expect you already fish for trout. And if you are looking for pictures go to a picture book. This book is the meat and potatoes of trout fishing with a good gravy topping. That means you will learn things you likely don’t know. And let me say there are going to be some of you that won’t believe what I say works for fishing for big trout but it does. In fact, it works so good that I have guarded many of the secrets for many, many years. I have been fishing my whole life but that alone is not what makes a good fisherman. Ever since I could hold a fishing rod I have fished for trout and Dad would take me out to the streams and lakes for trout. Later, I fished by myself and I have put thousands upon thousands of hours into becoming more successful than other fisherman on the rivers and lakes. I am a very analytical person and it was when I adapted the Safari approach that things began to change. This is a trial book on some of the 411 of big trout tactics and if it does well, I may release more hush-hush secrets.

I do all kinds of fishing. Fly-fishing wet and dry, nymph, spin and bait, flipping, ice-fishing, down-rigger, wire line, well, everything but my true love and specialty is trout. I have also included some wildlife and bear encounters I have had while fishing just as a dessert. But before I get to the actual secrets I want to go back to a time when I thought I was a pretty good fisherman for trout. I was good but I had much to learn Grasshopper.

Chapter One:

Good To Know:

I remember fishing this one particular stream years ago, and coming up to a set of rapids that emptied into a slight curving embankment of rocks and roots. It was a fishing hole with great potential. At first glance it seemed that there was a natural position for a fisherman to stand and fish the pool. And I am sure that is where most fisherman stood when fishing this hole. However, I do a lot of reading and was thinking about fishing from a fish perspective. Sounds a bit weird huh? For example, I would actually lay down in a river, stream, or a lake and be underwater and look up to the shore to see what I could see. Sure you may have heard about how light bends going through the water and how a fish might be able to see you quite clearly when you could not see them from above the surface. I would also be under the water and listen to what fish might hear and to hear how sound travels in the water. Well, the sounds of walking are much more amplified with water as the sound waves travel through the water. Most of us probably know this but seldom utilize this as an advantage. I experimented with upstream, downstream, and in lakes. I do understand a fish may have lateral lines and they do hear or sense quite differently than a human would. I did all this just to see if I could gain some advantage over other competition, meaning the fisherman and the fish of course. On this particular hole, I laid down on some rocks and fished from there. It was uncomfortable but it sure paid off. I was using a worm at the time and let my bait drift downstream and yes, I used the lightest line possible and the least sinkers I could to give the worm a natural drift. I caught a very nice brown trout from that fishing hole that I
