Join Aquatic Biologist Peter Stitcher as he guides the angler through how to quickly and easily determine what is on the day's menu and which flies are the most likely to bring success. Using the P.A.U.S.E. Method, Peter will walk the participant through how to sample and interpret the information from the trail, riverbed, streamside and air over the river to determine which insects are present and the best fly patterns to use. This method is easy to remember and will help you stop guessing and starting catching more fish every trip to the river!
