    Default Please excuse my lack of knowledge, but...

    what is the "Pulling the Trigger" method that Gary LaFontaine is talking about in his recent article "From the Bottom of the Food Chain, Part 2"? My google skills seem to be lacking today.

    Not a problem, it's the motion which causes the fly to flip over.

    As part of the cast, or as part of the retrieve?

    Quoting from this week's article:
    <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana">quote:</font><HR>
    Nothing makes a trout react faster than a Rollover Scud if the fly flips over close enough to the fish. The pattern swims upright when it's retrieved, but it rolls over as
    soon as the tension is gone. Or the movement can be just the opposite?it will sink upside down, but as soon as the angler tightens the line the fly will spin into the upright
    position. Either way it has a built-in "action" that triggers an instinctive response in trout....

    I guess I should read the article completely before posting a question. My bad.
