Maelstrom!

Pools like this can be very rewarding. The trick is to get as close as you can without showing yourself to the fish. Make an accurate cast. Then keep as much of the line OFF the water as you can for as long as you can. The rises can be quite casual in despite of the violent water. Strong trout seem to be able to move about in these places with ease.

    .....and keep an eye open for trout facing the counter-intuitive direction, when the eddy makes upstream downstream! Thanks as always for the observations and the video.
