"The game of [nods] is played by tying a reasonable facsimile of the insect being taken by a trout. Then many variations of this basic pattern are tied with only slight differences in each of them. These are in turn cast to a visible feeding trout, and its reaction is noted very carefully . . . Each fly is cast as long as it receives a nod from the trout. When it no longer excites any nods it is discarded for a new variation." (sounds like a game Hans and Henk would play)

"Being able to read trout streams is just as valuable to a fly fisherman as the ability to read a defense is to a Quarterback."
