In the Back Eddy: If you only cast once, make it count

The Eddy

A back eddy is a place within a river, usually along a shoreline, where the current doubles back on itself and actually flows the opposite direction. If you are a trout, an eddy is a great place to rest, maybe inhale a few midge pupae or that hopper that just splatted down on the foam line. If you are a fly fisherman, an eddy is a great place to spot some trout, maybe cast to some risers or pull a streamer through, with the hope of a mammoth tug. If you are neither a trout nor a trout fisherman, an eddy can be a nice place to sit on the bank and watch the world double back on itself.
