SUMMARY

As a noun, an abridgment; brief; compendium; digest; also a short application to a court or judge, without the formality of a full proceeding.

As an adjective, short; concise; immediate; peremptory; off-hand; without a jury; provisional; statutory. The term as used in connection with legal proceedings means a short, concise, and immediate proceeding.

A summary judgment is a final decision in a civil action that does not involve lengthy presentations of evidence. It totally circumvents the need for trial because there is no genuine issue of fact concerning specified questions in the lawsuit that must be decided. In such an action, the party who believes that she is entitled to prevail as a matter of law makes a motion for summary judgment. In deciding such a motion, the court considers the entire record of the case and, if the evidence warrants it, can even grant a summary judgment to the party who did not ask for it. Summary judgment is governed in federal courts by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and in state courts by state codes of civil procedure.

Summary

  1. Choose well-fitting waders and make sure that the inseam is the correct length so that you can move freely. Too short of an inseam in your waders will disable your leg movements. The use of a wading belt ensures a secure chest fit. A tight fit around the chest traps air in case of an unexpected plunge.
  2. Footing. Stream cleats (combination of aluminum cleats and felt) provide the most stable footing on slippery rocks. Felt soles are good on most rocky stream bottoms. Rubber cleats are good on muddy areas.
  3. Carry and use a wading staff.
  4. Use a life preserver in dangerous wades.
  5. At all times have one foot secured. Never move the unsecured foot without the other foot secured.
  6. Before wading, take into account the streambeds conditions, depth, and current velocity. Choose the appropriate gear.

Summary

The most common error is to over-do the retrieve by making the motions excessively fast and long. Insects are small and their motions are subtle; moreover, they proceed for shorter distances and at a slower rate than fishermen envision.

Carefully observe the natural insects or baitfishs motions. Copy this action. Most retrieves are best done with a slower-than-you-think rate and distance. Some exceptions are threatened baitfish and adult caddisflies. But most other aquatic foods require subtle retrieves.

Many fishermen retrieve their flies in 3 to 4 foot pulls; but the naturals move only an inch or so and cannot possibly swim in sudden 3 foot spurts.

Your primary retrieve goal is to copy the naturals motions in both rate and distance.
