The best place for the fisherman is behind rock "A" because from that position he can easily keep any small trout hooked in the riffle from getting into the pool and disturbing other fish. Any fish much above "1' will probably be small and will be there because a bigger one has taken the best spot somewhere below him. Drop your bait in at "2," and follow it with your rod tip to let it sink deep before it reaches "; Pay out as much line as is needed to let your bait drift the entire length of the pool. Make four or five casts and try to steer at least two of them into the eddy which flows from "3" toward "; This will be hard and instead you may have to cast over to "3" or beyond in order to accomplish the same result. A bait which hits a rock and slides or falls in will be far less likely to disturb trout than one which lands in smooth water with a loud smack. If there were no cover at "A" the fisherman would be far better off fishing from behind "B" than standing or kneeling in the open at the upper end of the pool. Fly fishermen should fish the pool in a way much the same as that just given. Drift flies with the current, then work them across and finally against it. Don't try to drift a fly to "3"—cast it. Spinner fishermen will have no trouble fishing below "1" but the riffle looks too fast and too narrow for proper use of a Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original California.
