If you want success in fly fishing — with dry flies or nymphs — you'll benefit by "matching the hatch". This isn't generally as simple as turning over a few rocks in the stream. To do it right, you have to know what's in the stream in the areas where you will be fishing. Learn how from Norm Crisp of Stream Side Adventures.
Excerpt: "When you pull up that rock, if there is any current at all, as you pick it up and turn it over and move it around, suddenly those insects that were crawling around are going to be subject to far more current than they see in the stream and they're going to float away. You're not going to see what's really out there. So what we always like to do is to take a little kick net, put it down in the stream, reach upstream ahead of it, move the rocks around as much as you can, and let everything wash down into the screen."
