New Feature! “Fly Fishing Brown Drakes in Large Rivers”

The follow up to our extremely well received “Fly Fishing the Brown Drake Mayfly Hatch” video, this new feature based on the often over-looked fly fishing the brown drake mayfly in larger rivers.

This hatch is so often written about from the small stream perspective. Do brown drakes hatch on larger rivers? YES. In fact, in larger, often muddy, slow reaches of some of N America’s best-known trout streams that fly fishers ignore and dismiss, the biggest brown trout rise to this hatch for much longer hatch periods than on smaller streams.

We again break down this hatch in full from a larger river perspective, look at the lesser consider aspects of it, shatter the norms of what is shared pertaining to where, when, how long, the core season, etc. This is a full break down – right down to the how to fish the hatch with varying degrees of dead-drift and drag-free (hint, not necessarily needed!).

In this new feature, you will learn:

• Why the lower reaches of larger rivers have exceptional brown drake hatches.
• Where in large rivers, even in freestone rivers, brown drakes may likely be found.
• To consider rise forms of other species to hone in on your target species during this hatch.
  In the larger exposed river valley, environmental conditions can be in your favor despite being a detriment to your cast, sighting, etc
• How counter-intuitive conditions can be – leading to trout moving to the opposite waters in larger rivers due to the pushiness of flow.
• The subtle, extreme edges and shallows trout will move to during this hatch.
• Why prospecting with a drake is always a good idea when floating lower reaches.
• Why & How to skitter a brown drake pattern while drifting in a boat.
• When there’s no hatch and conditions are tough, there’s always water and fish to target in different water types!

The brown drake hatch is happening now, as of release date, and likely will continue for some time yet. This is a wonderful time of the year!
