NEW FEATURE VIDEO: “SUMMER BROWN TROUT: Where They Have to Be”
As the title suggests, this video offers a great immersion into the specific” where” (water type) that browns have to be in exposed, rock shelf & gravel flood plain rivers during peak of summer heat. With each fish engaged, there’s a lot of “in the moment” discussion where we share subtle but important tips and observations. This production is full of drone footage that highlights really well the water features to their fullest extent and how if dissected properly by 2 anglers, some incredible browns can come to net as a result of well placed & managed casts.
What you Will Learn:
- The specific water type that trout primarily hold in during high heat of summer on exposed open flood plain rivers
- Flat rock substrate versus broken rock/boulders and their effectiveness as holding lies
- What the typical trout behavior will be when rising to eat terrestrials from deeper water
- The value of shadow lines that cover deeper, slower water in finding a rise during peak of summer heat
- Why using wide gap hooks (especially when using foam terrestrial patterns) helps with hook sets
- How to fight a trout to the net when it gets (temporarily) wedged into a boulder
- How drifting a nymph to depth following a hopper pattern refusals can be effective
- How realistic terrestrial (hopper) patterns placed in shallower edge riffled water can draw trout laterally
