Feldman is a fly-fisherman -- goin' for the ten pound trout with two pound line.

Actually its called the "leader". The leader for fly fishing can come in a variety of styles (aside from sinking, slow sinking and floating). (I personally use multiple tapered slow sinking) which consists of four or so shorter lengths of increasingly lighter fine line weights tied end to end with one another. The leader is tied to the fly line (again floating or sinking depending on the situation). The reason for this is to make the correct "presentation" of the fly to the trout. In the case of rainbow (my personal favorite) the fly itself would consist be at this time of year and presuming a slower moving creek with deep pools or a spring fed pond, a wooley bugger presented quietly near the shadier cooler areas.

Trout are man's natural enemy and they are exceptionally smart with phenomenal vision. And yes, they must be stalked. My six inch cast iron skillet has offered up many of them to my pallet beside the very stream or pond from which they were caught. My fanny pack that carries a small amount of virgin olive oil mixed with a bit of lime juice and some secret culinary herbs needs replenishing periodically. I've never gone hungry.
