1. Time

Time hunting, time scouting, time observing, time looking for new areas, time practicing with your weapon, time traveling to the key location....etc...

1. Patience/Persistence
2. Having good spots to hunt and knowing them intimately.
3. Being there when his luck runs out.

Location (Are they there?)
DETAILS (wind, scent, trim branches, practice w/ BHs, entry/exit etc)
Time afield

and luck is not far behind those three

How much time and skill would it take to catch a speckled trout in the mtn. streams of NC.....if the greatest fly fisherman who ever lived came here to fish for them?
