Fishing Techniques

  • For Brown trout

    When fishing streams, focus on seams and current breaks, where trout hold to ambush prey.

  • For Smallmouth bass

    Focus your fishing efforts around rocky structures, ledges, and areas with current, as smallmouth bass prefer these habitats.

  • For Fallfish

    Fallfish often school, so if you catch one, work that area thoroughly; they are opportunistic feeders.
