Marrow
spoon - long spoon used for inspecting
the food in the trouts stomach, so the correct fly
can
be used
Mayfly - world wide, the most commonly imitated
aquatic insect. Most dry fly and nymph patterns imitate this
insect. Nymph stage of the mayfly lasts approx., one year; adult
stages last one to three days. The adult has one pair of upright
wings, making it look like a small sailboat. Mayflies are commonly
found in cold or cool freshwater environments
Mending Line - method used after the line is on the water
to achieve a drag free float. It uses a flip, or series of flips
with the rod tip, which puts a horseshoe shaped bow in the line.
This slows down the speed with which the line travels if mended
upstream, and speeds up the line if mended downstream. An example:
if a cast is across the flow of the stream and the fastest part
of the current is on your side, the mends would typically be
made upstream to slow the line down so it keeps pace with the
fly traveling in the slower current across from you
Midge - a term properly applied to the small Dipterans
that trout feed on. Many people call them gnats. Adult's appearance
is similar to mosquitoes. Midges have two wings that lie in
a flat "V" shape over the back when at rest
Milt
- The semen of a male fish; a term for the semen-filled testes
and sperm ducts of a male fish
Monofilament - a clear, supple nylon filament used in
all types of fishing that is available in many breaking strengths
and diameters
Muddler - normally a deer hair headed fly |
