1.   Fritz, who prefers to fish rough pocket water, spotted the broad shoulders of a rising trout.

2.   Fritz waded into the pocket water with the ease of a bison walking through tall grass.

3.   I tried the process without success a few times until I ran into another fisherman on the pocket water of the Ausable River in the Adirondacks.

4.   On the second day, I dredged deep pools with nymphs and streamers, while hitting in-between pocket water and riffles.

5.   These two streams offer every look, from fast-moving water to deep holes and pocket water.

6.   Throw a streamer fly or leech pattern in pocket water and two or three will bolt out to ambush it.
