" And so the day ended.  Ten business rises from ten good trout and I had nothing to show for it.  Too slow on the strike? Well, for once I am positive that I had not been too slow.  I had been far too fast.  I had also been too jerky, too strong in my striking.  It all proves that one should never get too opinionated about any part of this angling game. Innumerable times have I expressed the opinion that one could not possibly be too fast when striking a trout.  Now I know better and I also realize that in the past this very thing has caused me to lose many large trout.
