walk backward. If we could but feel 
and see as did the artist who painted 
the picture, how much we could get out 
of that old piece of canvas. 
Has the time arrived for a revision 
of cairo-scuro, a picture in black and 
white, the art of distributing the lights 
and shadows, in so far as the trout are 
concerned? 
To a trout at the bottom of a lake 
or stream, anything striking the sur- 
face of the water is shown as a dark 
spot against the sky, like a blot of ink 
on a sheet of paper. If we go into a 
cellar and look out of the doorway, or 
into the back part of a room and look 
out of the window toward the sky, a 
passing bird will show dark even 
though it be of bright colors. Like art 
in painting, it presents a case of light 
and shadow. 
Colors show from the light or sunny 
side. Trout cannot see the light or 
sunny side of an object on the surface 
of the water. It sees only the shaded 
side, because the light or sky is always 
above. Consider a lily-pad: the sun- 
shine or light of the sky is upon the 
upper side of the leaf; the under side 
is always shaded, and while it will 
show green above, it will appear as a 
dark spot from below, showing its en- 
tire contour, en silhouette. 
The man on the bank erroneously 
reasons from his own position, which 
is always on the skyline, instead of 
from the position of the trout at the 
bottom of the lake or stream, which 
absorbs the light. Their view is con- 
stantly up into the bright inverted 
saucer against which everything shows 
dark; the man looks upon the bright 
side of the leaf, with the black bottom 
as a background, thus showing its 
green color. 
Making a catch after changing to 
another fly, does not prove that the 
angler would not have hooked the fish 
had he kept on with the first. Should 
we be able to follow the results of the 
use of the popular patterns, through 
the many years, we might learn that 
all have been successful according to 
their respective times of service. Be- 
cause the form and motion suggest the 
presence of an insect, the deception 
takes place. 
Many anglers have said, “the trout ( 
just took any kind of fly, and especially 
the kinds that were the most unlikely”. 
I have seen trout break for buds, ber- 
ries, and small pieces of sticks, only to 
be immediately rejected. Occasion- 
ally such things are found in their 
stomachs. Action, indicative of animal 
life, where this drift is carried into a 
whirlpool or eddy, means food to a 
trout, tempting him to act quickly. The 
shadow cast by the angler and rod, may 
be held, after a little consideration, as 
of no account. It is altogether too 
faint, in the face of the silhouetted 
man against the sky, seen from the 
position of the trout below. 
Walking through the woods, or
