We discuss what is needed to locate & spot trout in or near undercut banks. We discuss eyesight and sunglasses and all things related to what helps you see.  

What we look for when trying to locate and spot trout isn't what most people think. Rare is the time it's as obvious as looking at fish in a tank of gin-clear water. Let's introduce the concept of the smudge hunt and examine what that entails. 

As we progress through the art of smudge-hunting we discuss  what else we look for when locating and spotting trout in and near undercut banks. Give-aways like color, movement, lower fins, spotting and color shifts are important!
 
We further break down the available habitat and micro-habitat features and types commonly associated in or near undercut banks, and look at finding the trout often associated with them.
