So many places are missed by anglers walking past them taking the view that they are unfishable.  Sometimes you have to spot the letter box so you can post your line through with a careful bit of casting.  Next time you see an "impossible" place, give it a moment or two of careful reconnaissance and thought.  See if you can spot a letter box that you might just fit your cast through.

Here's one from Monday's joyous day by the Derbyshire Wye.  The line needed to go under the branch at the top of the picture and over the stalks and stems coming up into the middle of the picture.  It was worth it.

    I love those spots myself. They are usually tight and small so I figure if I end up losing some flies in the branches or overhang, I can always retrieve them. I have pulled out some healthy and feisty trout from these spots. Almost as if they had never been caught in their entire life. Great Post.
