Do we fishermen/fly tiers rely too much on horizontal views of our flies?

[Bruce Norikane]

I believe that the founder of this site has a short explanation of how the trout "sees". Can't locate it now, but perhaps someone has a link to his summary? Caswell?

You are correct. The explanation is a fine series of 12 articles called "Flies Only" by J Castwell himself. The Flies Only articles can be found in the Features Section in the left column of the FAOL home page.

It is hard to link to articles on this site because of the frame infrastructure, but here's a link to the series:
