THE SCIENCE OF TROUT FISHING
In 1975 I wondered if I could catch more than 200 legal trout. In my shirt pocket I had a 3 X 5 card and a pen for recording my catch. This information I recorded in a three ring binder where I had a listing of each stream I fished that year. On September 18, I had 201 legal trout recorded. When I looked at the information it was obvious that some streams were more productive than others. And, some streams
were reporting bigger trout.
Gradually, over the next ten years, from 1975 to 1985, I added information to my listing which included the water temperature, weather conditions, the exact time I caught the trout, and the lure I was using. I also recorded the place where I caught each trout that was 17, or more, inches long. So, over the years
I had a lot of scientific data on where and when to fish trout. Each book that I have written about trout fishing is more detail than the last. I fish trout 45 to 50 times each season so I have a lot of data to provide you with the science of trout fishing.
