One winter day, when I was in Bryson City, just starting up the Deep Creek, I met Jim Rich who was such a believer in camouflage that he even sprayed his spinning rod and reel with it. I only had occasion to see Jim a few times afterward, however, he always had nice trout in his creel. To this day, I have been a believer of camc, but Jim Casada a prolific writer and trout fisherman for over 50 years prefers camo but he also likes tan or brown. Regardless of what you prefer, here are a few tips:
1. Stay low and close to the water level. -remember a low profile is alwasy best.
2. Take advantage of big boulders, fallen trees, etc. to conceal your location.
3. If you are on the bank, blend in with the trees and rhodendrons as much as possible.
4. Be patient and move slowly.
5. Make your first cast your best cast.
