During this time of year, with water levels low, fish on high alert from a summer of being cast upon, staying out of the water as much as possible makes sense. If you ever get a chance watch some fish working an emergence from up above, or perhpas just lying on the fringes of a pool. Throw a pebble as far as you can away from them, and watch the fish scatter. Fish can detect noise much better then we often give them credit for. Fall trout, steelies and salmon all seem more sensitive than at other times of the year and stealth can be one of the fly fishers biggest assets.
If you are forced to wade, wading upstream to your fishing spot makes more sense as it does not send visual clues to the fish, such as muck or debris.
