[Killietalk] re: Flowing Water

["John" <alsup at adelphia_net>]

Trout are normally found in water that is moving, at least slowly. Often
they hover just on the edge of currents. The reason for this is that flowing
water does indeed have food in it, and most fish prefer to dart into
faster-flowing currents only long enough to grab the food. Why would killies
be any different??
