Hello all,
I am pretty new to fly fishing, but have caught the addiction. I have recently fished Ridley Creek and Spring Creek (Bellefonte area) and had some mild success. The one main problem I am having is identifying which fish I am seeing in the water. How do you determine what is a sucker or creek chub from what is a trout? I have a good pair of polarized glasses, but I feel I am wasting some of my time trying to catch the wrong species.
It seems most suckers swim in schools, but I have read that some larges browns will also swim in a similar school. Do you have any tips to share that would help me identify what fish I am looking at?
Any tips will be appreciated, thanks in advance.
