Trout are  essentially simple creatures. They look for food, they look for security, and (once a year) they look for love.

That said, there is some nuance in how and why they do what they do. Even something as seemingly straightforward as a rise tells the angler a lot more than “the fish is feeding on the surface.”

Vincent Marinaro’s In the Ring of the Rise is many things. Foremost, it served as a deep-dive into the particulars of surface feeding behaviors of fish. The research he conducted in the mid-70’s was remarkable, and the lessons learned have been helping anglers for half a century.
