Shank - long straight part of the hook between
the eye and the bend
Shooting Taper - ST or Shooting Head - a short
single tapered fly line, shooting heads are designed for
longest casts with minimum effort; shooting heads allow
quick change of line types (floating, sinking, sink-tip,

though they can be used in all types of fly fishing
Smelt - small bait fish
Snake
- a thing you shouldn't step on!
Snake
guides - a formed wire guide on a fly rod
Sink Rate - the speed at which a sinking fly line
sinks; there are a number of sink rates
Sink-Tip Fly Line - F/S - a floating fly line where
the tip portion sinks
Sinking Fly Line - a fly line in which the entire
length of the line sinks beneath the surface of the water
Spinner - the egg laying stage of the mayfly
Spool - the part of the fly reel that revolves

Stalking - creeping up on a fish, to surprise or
not disturb the fish or anything, including snakes
Standing Line - the part of the line that is joined
to another piece of line when tying the tag ends together
Stonefly - nymph lives for one to three years,
depending on species; most species hatch out by crawling
to the shoreline and emerging from its nymphal case above
the surface, thus adults are meals to trout only along
shoreline and around midstream obstructions; adult has
two pair of wings which are folded flat along its back
when at rest

the skull of a fish, is one of the bones that support
the pectoral fin
Surface film - The apparent elastic like film on
the surface of water - which is created by surface tension
Surface
tension - The natural tendency of the surface of water
(and other liquids) to behave like an elastic sheet. It
is caused by forces acting between the water molecules:
the molecules at the surface are much more strongly attracted
to each other, and to the molecules below them, than they
are to the molecules of air above them
