Great pic of the fish just chilling there for both great food channeling and probably good source of oxygen with the fast water flow.

If I scare it it certainly scarpers quickly downstream to deeper and shaded water. The reason it is there has to be the food being channelled to it. The mouth is constantly chomping and the fish makes tiny sideways movements every few seconds as it intercepts undersurface food. It occasionaly tilts up and takes very small sedge flies. It's a project fish for someone for sure. Me? I'm just happy to watch it and to marvel at its adaptive behaviour and at how many anglers just Walk On By without noticing it...<br /><br />;)<br /><br />Regular RodRegular Rodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04412350204961563932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4725820531987570568.post-48382753927216508482011-06-28T15:23:38.566+01:002011-06-28T15:23:38.566+01:00Unusual for a fish to sit in such shallow water.

That focus of flow is good for an inject breather and food will also be channeled to it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
