Now that August is over and the Dog Days of Summer are gone.  It time to start thinking about heading out and fishing your favorite small trout stream.  Ian Rutter has several articles on the R and R fly fishing website.  One of my favorite is the  “Top 10 Ways to Improve Your Small Stream Success” link .

“The article first appeared in Fly Fishing & Tying Journal. The tips found in this article are especially critical to a fly fisher’s success catching trout in the Great Smoky Mountains of Tennessee and North Carolina. However, these methods will work on small streams anywhere”.

If Ian’s article does not get you itching to get out and fish. Tom Rosenbauer has three Article on the Orvis Fly Fishing Learning Center website.
