    Are you therefore saying that if the river is very smooth, you cannot see any insects, and there are no actively rising trout or sipping trout, then whatever fly (regardless of catagory type some may place it in) you guess may be good and put on is a 'searching pattern'? Or, you see trout rising and they do not rise to your fly, (assume good presentations, etc.) even though it may be an 'immitation' of the hatching insect, so you put on something else. Is that something else, even though it may also be an 'immitation', also a 'searching pattern'?
    Aren't we always searching for the pattern that will work and therefore all patterns are 'searching'. I guess I don't understand what that specific word means. What does it mean when used grammatically as a noun? When used as a verb?
    Lastly, nice philosophical babble but who really gives a s--- what it's called? LOL.
