    The flies are sailing in the water about a couple of inches under the surface.
    As soon as a fish rises at a fly the fisherman finds a pull on the line and he knows that he has a trout hooked.
    Sometimes two or three rise at the same time and he often lands a number of trout when he pulls in his line.
