Fishing is a story . . . On one of the last mornings of summer, I found good action with a Crossover technique, combing the advantages of both streamers and nymphs on a tight line, Mono Rig system. This style was a perfect match for trout that were eager enough, but not in all water types.

This third installment of the Fish and Film series highlights the technical aspects of good, adaptive nymphing. It's a look at a full morning of fishing riffles, runs and flats, while making the necessary and natural changes to find fish.

Because meeting trout on their own terms is the only way to make the most of a river. Cover water. Find feeding fish. Test theories . . . every day.
