Don't Discount the Small Stuff

In my intro to my Bugs page I used the analogy of a large bear tearing into a log to get at a few juicy bugs as an example of why larger trout, which are able to tackle larger food items, will also capitalize on hatches of tiny aquatic insects. The adage "big flies = big fish" sometimes holds true - but I prefer my catch phrase; small flies during a consistent hatch = big selective fish.

Not much gets in the way of a hungry bear looking for a high protein meal
