Excerpt: "WE'RE LOOKING AT A 90-DEGREE curve in a pretty little river. This kind of curve and resulting hydraulics are repeated in rivers all over the world. The outer bend of the curve is a natural home for fish. The bending water flow has created a deep hole. This is where the food gathers, so this is where the fish gather."

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