Every move you make in trout fishing counts for or against you. If you plan your tactics according to the demands of each situation, you'll catch a lot more trout over a season.
Tactics are easiest to plan when trout are rising.
Then you can see the writing on the surface of the water as the feeding trout show you where they are. At such a time, your obvious choice is the dry fly fished upstream. The first thing you should do is stand by the pool and study it awhile before you fish. Locate the trout that are rising consistently. If you rush right in and start casting, you'll probably put down several fish that you haven't seen.
