Fly Fishing Small Streams In The Heat Of Summer | Ep. 186
It's hard to not fall in love with small streams. They're gorgeous, the fish are generally fairly willing to eat, and they're a GREAT place to escape the crowds for a bit. As summer drags on, though, small streams don't always continue to be this fairytale place to fish. The water levels drop, fish get spooky, and you feel like you're back at square one, looking for a solution to this problem. It boils down to understanding where fish move during the summer, what they're looking to eat, and the best times to be out on the water. Today on Untangled, we'll dive into all of that and more, so you can have success on small streams this summer.
You'll also learn about:
- The differences in fly rod weights and what they mean for the flies you can throw
- How a heavier fly rod can be more effective in fighting fish
- Some tips for properly fighting trout to the net
- The things to watch out for that you might be doing to inadvertantly spook fish
- Why you should try different styles of fishing - ONLY if you want to
