Stream Fishing Tips

Stream Tips– Analyze Your Stream

Summertime offers a great opportunity for you to see structure that cannot be seen in the high murky water at other times of the year. Map out the best lies and the hazardous snags of your favorite spots. Even though the fishing isn’t nearly as good in the summer, it gives you a great chance to scout out the area in greater detail. Better yet, record your investigations on film so that you are sure to remember the hotspots that you never saw.

Fishing Stream Tip – Scouting Streams

Check out your favorite water in the wintertime and map out where the springs are – spots where it isn’t frozen over. When the days get hotter, these are the coolest spots in the stream and will flock there when it is hot. You will find excellent action at these places.

Stream Casting Tips

Grasshoppers, beetles and crickets make a “plop” when they fall into a stream. Imitate this sound when you cast by dropping your pattern onto the surface with a tiny splat. Trout may swim 10 feet or more to investigate this sound during the summer and fall stream fishing.
