I have actually never ever captured a 24-inch brown trout on a fly. I have actually put a couple of 23-inch fish in the web, and more than a handful of 20-inchers. However I have yet to cross the 2-foot mark with salmo trutta, although I’m surrounded by tailwaters apparently loaded with fish near 25 inches.
I reckon a great deal of anglers fall under that exact same circumstance, which is why this current story from On The Water captured my eye. Josh Long discussed how the brown trout of Lake Ontario be worthy of more attention and love than they presently get.
I fished Lake Ontario in 2015, and captured a big adequate brown trout on a huge spoon, today I’m lured to return and chase after the larger fish on the fishing pole.
As Long composes, “While much of journalism and attention in this fishery approaches steelhead and salmon, brown trout likewise go into these locations in September and typically remain well into the winter season. Timing their run is important, as being off by a day or more can be the distinction in between casting into water that appears lacking life and encountering astounding varieties of migratory browns.”
His post enters into terrific information on how to time the runs, how to rig for them, and how to make certain you’ll have an effective day on the water. It deserves reading, specifically if you’re all set to run and put some huge trout in the web.
