Karen and I always keep an eye out for trout that have a "beat" on our local waters. They often feed along the edges. Today we encountered several "cycling" trout that worked up and down a stretch of water, aka "their beat!" We both love to get our presentation right along their feeding path and often we get a hook up. If you look at the shoreline in the picture above, there is a break in the weeds. That is a spot we love to cast into and wait! I am always amazed that trout will eat your fly just 18 inches to 2 feet below you strike indicator along a weed line. While out fly fishing the other day, I saw a fellow in a boat sitting right along the weeds. The trout were cruising right where he was sitting in his boat. It may have been better to set up so he could work the weed line he was parked along! I love to "set a trap" and catch a trout working the edges!
