Going With the Flow
 
I just read a great article on how fish swim in turbulent water in order to
save energy. I posted a link to it on our home page at www.iheartmypond.com,
it's also listed in our News category,

Excellent find, BV! The true meaning of "go with flow" revealed. ~ jan

BV,

I'm not sure about fish who are actually trying to *go* somewhere, but
otherwise the article seems to confirm what I was taught when I first
attempted flyfishing: cast just downstream of a big rock because the trout
(or whatever) like to hang out there because that's where they "get the most
bang for the buck" energy vs. food-wise.

BTW, for the record, I don't get to "attempt flyfishing" often, but it's
strictly catch & release.

I've tried fly fishing, but those flies are pretty hard to catch.
