Seamfly fishing glossary
The boundary between two currents of different speeds, where fish often hold to ambush food.
Seams are prime fish-holding lies. Trout position themselves in the slower side of a current seam, where they can hold position with minimal effort while food drifts past in the faster adjacent current.
Where to Find Seams
- Alongside rocks and boulders
- Along undercut banks
- Where riffles transition to runs
- At tributary confluences
