## **1. Understanding Trout Feeding Behavior**
Before selecting flies, it’s crucial to understand trout feeding habits. Trout primarily feed on aquatic insects, terrestrial bugs, and small baitfish. Their diet changes with seasons, water conditions, and insect hatches. Matching the hatch—using flies that imitate the insects currently active—is key to success.
