This is the last in a four-part series of identifying and fishing water types.

| Look for eddies that contain insects. |
Pools
are deeper waters located at the edge of the main current. They
display a mirror-like surface which allows the fly fisher to spot fish. Light tippets and longer leaders are necessary for success. I normally use smaller flies. My favorite patterns are the Blue-Winged Olive and Griffith Gnat in
sizes 16-20, Soft Hackles in sizes 12-14 and searching patterns such
as Spiders and Bivisibles from 10-16.

| Keep a low profile when you are trying to spot fish in a clear eddy. |
These wily creatures can be very analytical, so stealth, careful presentation, closer imitation and patience are necessary for consistent success.
