Trout Bead
when fly fishing on a river, what does it mean to cast into a pool? what is the pool?
Also how big of a leader do you want to use? i am going to be using a nymph bead head so i want it to sink a good bit for the deep georgia trout. Would you also recommend a strike indicator? THANK YOU!
Pools form on rivers for various reasons. Sometimes the river takes a sharp bend and the water scours a hole in the streambed where the water gets deep and slow. Sometimes the river runs through a shallow, low-gradient area and widens out, which likewise forms a pool. When people refer to fishing a pool, they're referring to a place in the river where you might like to swim -- a slower, deeper part of the pool. Shouldn't be too hard to find once you know what to look for. Pools maybe small enough to for you to sit in and touch either side with your head and feet, or they maybe large enough to float a boat on, more like a pond.
You fish in pools because they make good fish habitat. Pools provide cover, slow current, and forage for fish. A pool has lots of pieces and parts. Every pool has a "head," which is where the faster water meets the slower water. Sometimes there are some rapids or falls at the head. Fish will sometimes gather at the head to intercept food as it enters the pool (fugitive bugs and baitfish). Every pool has a "belly," which is the deepest part of the pool. Fish gather in the deep part because, well, it's the deep part. It's where they can get out of sight, cool down, and rest. Every pool has a "tail" or "tailout" which is the place where pool effectively ends and rejoins the faster current of the stream. The tailout sometimes forms a bottleneck which may aggregate drifting forage, so you look for fish there, too.
If you are a beginner, then you might want to use a strike indicator. The problem with a strike indicator is that you might want to sink that fly very deep, and a strike indicator will prevent you from going much deeper than 3 or 4 feet. It's much easier to go deep with no strike indicator. To detect strikes with no indicator, maintain slight tension on your line, wait for the slight tug of a take, then set the hook.
