i may be stupid here but i thought these two questions might be fun.
anyone who has read my stream reports knows how much i hate spiders. its hard being a wild trout nut and spend most of my fishing experince in the woods surrounded buy wood spiders, garden spiders and those wierd spooky black ones with the rocky looking back. YUCK! but it doesnt stop me from going to the stream or enjoying myself. i could fish in the meadows but the nature is so much more beautiful in the woods. spiders and all.
but i was wondering, how the heck to those little buggers get the web on the otherside of the path your on? i mean do they attach on side and they crawl down and then up the next tree? orwait for the wind to blow them and let go? how the heck to those damn spiders do it!?
also, spending time fishing pressured trout i have noticed that most these fish "soft lip" your fly. the stike is almost never explosive. but wild trout is a differnt story. on monday i had a brown leap out of the water while eating a dry. on saturday i had a brookie, that was so excited, it tried to eat my fly 3 times in one pass. he kept missing and you would have thought he was small, but when i hooked him he was 8 inches. the funny thing is i foul hooked his tail. how do these fish ever get anything in thier mouths? i have seen brookies do this so many times. they are so explosive to the fly and excited they often miss it. why are they so explosive?
