i was fishing what was very clear waters of one of my local streams
yesterday (on a foggy, drizzling afternoon), when i sat on the bank to
change my fly. as i sat there, i was distracted by a motion that i detected
from the "corner of my eye." when i looked into the water, i spotted a
brookie, about 8-9 inches long speeding *down stream*. fascinated by his
beauty, and grace, and what seems to this newbie to be strange behavior, i
followed the fish, and watched him turn into a spot by which i have often
been frustrated, as it is clearly a great hiding place for trout, and of
course nearly impossible to cast to.

it was pretty cool - one more addition to my collection of memorable
sightings experienced while fishing.

any of ya'll ever seen this before?


Not strange at all. Think he got spooked.
