THIS VIDEO SEGMENT on fishing a Small Mountain Lake is from "Successful Fly Fishing Strategies" (Miracle Productions, DVD, 100 minutes), an extensive video guide to how to observe and analyze a large variety of trout fishing situations, from deep water nymphing in high water to casting streamers to undercut banks. The DVD features Gary LaFontaine, the famed author, lecturer, publisher and fly fishing instructor, who died in 2002 of Lou Gehrig's Disease, and his fishing partner Dick Sharon, an outfitter and former major league outfielder.

Excerpt: "A FAIRLY STEEP shoreline is always good. Shorelines naturally gather food blown by the wind. You can fish lakes from the shoreline alone, but a float-tube or boat is more versatile. Bays too are a great place to find fish, as are the shelves and drop-offs associated with bays. Other good places are submerged trees, large rocks, or weed beds in deep water."

Buy "Successful Fly Fishing Strategies" ($29.95) from The Book Mailer.
