" You can always tell a large trout when feeding in the evening.  He rises continuously, or at small intervals-in still water almost always in the same place, and makes little noise - barely elevating his mouth to suck in the fly, and sometimes showing his back fin and tail.  A large circle spreads around him, but there are seldom any bubbles when he breaks the water, which usually indicates the coarser fish.

Sir Humphrey Davy, 1868
