The Rise Streamside Observations on Trout,

Fly fishers celebrate the rise of a trout as, in Paul Schullery's words, "the center of the small universe of interests, crafts, and passions that make up the sport." But even after centuries of observation, we are still trying to solve the mysteries of that magical instant when a trout takes a fly. The Rise, based on recent scientific research into trout feeding behavior and the author's extraordinary photographic studies, provides many new clues.

Paul Schullery, an honored naturalist who Trout magazine hails as our preeminent angling historian, lives in Bozeman, Montana.
