Trout Stream Day Dreams: May 2016

http://troutstreamdaydreams.blogspot.com/2016_05_01_archive.html

Sunday, May 29, 2016. Escaping the Heat on a Salter Stream. I spent the weekend visiting family in southeastern MA, and I was lucky enough to do a little sea run brook trout fishing while I was there. Dawn on the stream. Later we walked upstream to the last trail access point and fished back downstream. In this stretch we starting hooking into some nicer fish. I caught this 10" brookie in the first pool we entered. He came out from under a root wad and smashed my streamer. I guess I'll never know. The fi...

Trout Stream Day Dreams: August 2015

http://troutstreamdaydreams.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html

Sunday, August 23, 2015. A few pics from Western MA. Last Tuesday I travelled to a few streams in the Deerfield River Watershed. These streams stay cool throughout the summer, but they were at quite low levels, which limited the fishing. Luckily I was still able to find a few fish. Thursday, August 20, 2015. King of the Stream. At about 12", this was the largest trout I've caught in this stream. Catching it was a great way to end my last outing of the summer to this stream. Tuesday, August 18, 2015.

Friday, October 23, 2015. Catching Trout on Small Streams in Winter. A Wisconsin winter brown. A Massachusetts winter brown. As I mentioned above, weather conditions are critical for winter small stream success. I pay attention to three factors in particular - forecasted high temperature, previous nightly low temperature, and cloud cover. Here's why:. Summing it all up -. So, how do you leverage your knowledge of the weather into a successful day on the stream? A winter Salter brook trout. My favorite wi...

Trout Stream Day Dreams: December 2015

http://troutstreamdaydreams.blogspot.com/2015_12_01_archive.html

Wednesday, December 30, 2015. A Guest Post on Orvis News. I wrote an article on Sea-run Brook Trout for the Orvis News Blog - Check it out HERE. Sea Run Brook Trout. Wednesday, December 23, 2015. So, I explored a couple of small streams in Central MA in search of wild trout. The first stream has it's source on the flanks of Mt. Wachusett, so it was, predictably, quite cold. I didn't catch any fish, so I moved on. As I moved downstream I had strikes or hookups in nearly every pool, although many got off d...

Trout Stream Day Dreams: January 2016

http://troutstreamdaydreams.blogspot.com/2016_01_01_archive.html

Wednesday, January 20, 2016. I had most of my success during my recent salter brook trout fishing trips using one fly. It's basically a small wooly bugger variant, but it uses a smaller hook than a typical wooly bugger and dubbing in place of chenille. Any Color (color is seen only in collar). Start out by building up thread behind the bead to hold it in place. Tie in marabou in a color of your choosing to form a tail roughly 1 shank in length. Leave the excess marabou alone for now. Sea Run Brook Trout.

Trout Stream Day Dreams: September 2016

http://troutstreamdaydreams.blogspot.com/2016_09_01_archive.html

Sunday, September 18, 2016. A Beautiful Weekend in Wisconsin. The weather this weekend was gorgeous here - sunny with a high in the low 70s both days. I took advantage and did some fishing out in the Driftless. The fishing seems to have slowed down bit. It's been colder at night, so it might have been wiser to fish in the afternoons rather than the morning. The leaves are just starting to change. I'm excited to see what this area looks like in a few weeks when the colors are at their peak.

Trout Stream Day Dreams: July 2016

http://troutstreamdaydreams.blogspot.com/2016_07_01_archive.html

Monday, July 25, 2016. Big Fish, Tiny Stream. Deep valleys dissecting a flat plateau. I made two trips west to fish this weekend. On Saturday I was kept off the water by thunderstorms, but on Sunday the weather stayed relatively clear. Thanks to the recent rains, the first stream I tried was very stained. I decided to drive upstream to the headwaters in search of clearer waters. The stream was tiny in most places. Except for under the bridge. Though a great fish anywhere, it was even better catching it o...
