with how often they weren’t caught, and how frustrated they left the fisherman.
In my world, a 20 or 22 inch brown is the most gorgeous fish that exists.. AFTER he’s on the hook..
I’ll tell you something else.. Fly fishing isn’t the only way to catch a Brown.
Having lived in Pennsylvania nearly all my life, I can say I’ve caught as many with a simply ultralight rod and reel than anything else.
They give me a lot more sensitivity, and with the water flowing over rocks and ripples you need to be able to “feel” the fish.
Another thing I use to catch them, no matter who tells you otherwise, is a live worm.
You’d be amazed how effective a live worm can be when its properly presented and by that I mean tied out to its full length, so that its seen as it should be seen.
Brown Trout are remarkably resilient and their survival instinct is nothing less than incredible. They have the ability to live in warmer waters than other trout, along with their resistance to Whirling Disease, and this allows Brown Trout to not only live, but to thrive in areas where Rainbow Trout often struggle to survive, and to grow far bigger than the average trout since the waters are more nutrient filled when they are warmer.
I’m betting that Browns are the wave of the future and I think its best to brush up on your techniques in order to catch them.
If you want the adventure of a lifetime, try a Trout fishing trip to the creeks and streams of the Pennsylvania mountains and foothills. It doesn’t get any better than this.
